Comment on Sorry, developer bootcamps: I was wrongparent

Comments

Hello,

Excuse me but I don't think that you are a "good coder".

First of all, I have found nothing about you on LinkedIn and even less on GitHub.

But, to prove me that I am wrong, show me your strength on Codewars and a few Katas later (1 kyu for you, as you claim to be "experienced", language of your choice), we will be able to talk. These ones could be a great fit :

-Tiny Three-Pass Compiler

-Simple Interactive Interpreter

http://www.codewars.com/kata/simple-interactive-interpreter

Before having tasted the power of Codewars, I wasn't able to assess the coding abilities of developers whom I met. Now, it's not the case anymore ;)

(but don't get me wrong : I too do believe that school with its strong theoritical foundations is necessary and that a bootcamp could only have all its meaning by being an addon to it)

Très cordialement / Best Regards,

Those are two great kata, I enjoyed completing them! On top of that, from the creators of Codewars comes Qualified (https://qualified.strive.co/), which allows you to use already created challenges to test developers skill. You can also create your own challenges and playback their programming frames step by step!
