[Irtalk] No three-month course can teach you how to code - Quartz

[Hilton Gibson]

While these coding crash courses advertise a simple and easy path, the
transition is actually a lot more complicated. Like the anecdotes in the
Journal article, I too am a self-taught software engineer. And the reality
is there’s no three-month course (intensive or otherwise) that can
magically turn someone into a top engineer. The first 10,000 hours alone
merely catch you up to your key competition for developer positions, the
recent computer science grads.
