I found the post worthwhile and I do not doubt its veracity whatsoever. I think you attack the author unfairly.

I clicked to read because I followed a similar path to the author, except I never attended any kind of bootcamps. I started writing my first django app and one month later I had my first coding job.

It was difficult at first, I was often baffled by the intentions of the codes author who I took over for, but I made the product work and it changed my life forever. I just started coding professionally January 15th of this year and already I've fixed and enhanced two large complicated projects and built two of my own.

So anyone saying this isn't possible is absolutely wrong.

I recommend watching Google's Python Class [1] for anyone getting started with Python that has a familiarity with basic programming concepts.
