Comment on How I left a 4 year career in finance and became a software engineer in 5 months

This is interesting, I immediately thought wow this couldn't possibly give you enough training to be a software developer. However, now I'm wondering if most of my college education was worthless.

Seriously maybe this program condensed all the necessary experience into 5 months, while the traditional academic path is poor at creating career coders in 4 years. I would totally believe it. There should be some head to head competitions.
