Not only are you making a lot of assumptions here, you have a woeful ignorance of Chicago neighborhoods but throw out names of neighborhoods like you're an expert (perhaps obtained from listening to Drill records or something).

Also, Beverly is one of the most integrated neighborhoods in Chicago, and it isn't even majority Black, so not sure why you even mention it. It also isn't 'adjacent' to Bronzeville unless you ignore all of the neighborhoods between them.

I agree. That part was way off base.

Perhaps you aren't familiar with the term. Graduate Student = someone enrolled in a Masters Program, Post doc, PHD program, etc.

This is quite different from a using a recent Bootcamp grad, likely without any industry experience, as a TA in a Software Dev Bootcamp. Especially because the main purpose of this is just to inflate job placement statistics.

"TAs are TAs, all colleges have them; they do not replace full instructors, but some of them are worth their weight in gold due to their student empathy."

Lol. TAs in colleges are graduate students. They aren't undergraduates who can't find a job.

You can argue about the value of traditional education.

But I think you would be hard pressed to find a university, even a crappy one, where it's up to the students to TA themselves, there are 100 students to one professor, and the curriculum constantly changes in the middle of a semester. So it's not quite accurate to try and compare Lambda to a traditional univeristy.

But congrats on your success in career changing. It begs the question of whether you could've done that on your own without attending a boot camp.

That might be true if the company was honest. But this was clearly fraud. So go ahead and blame the victim.

People who try to draw historical analogies to AI replacing humans say things like:

"cars replaced horse drawn carriages. But we managed to adapt to that, the carriage drivers got new jobs."

My dudes. We are the HORSES being replaced in this scenario.

lol you nailed it

I don't see it as a jab at the Czech Republic. But I think it is highly unusual for a CEO to be based out of a country that doesn't have any kind of Company HQ or significant base of operations, and which is 7 hours ahead of the TZ of the Company HQ based in Chicago.

I mean, that arrangement might work for some kind of employees, but for a CEO in this case it's a bit odd I guess

You know who else was a "a highly regulated public company with regular disclosures"?

Enron

Why the vomit emoji after mentioning ERB templates? It's just HTML with ruby sprinkled throughout. If that's the best solution for the job, why use React or whatever flavor of the month JS framework instead?

This is pretty rich. I'd argue the worst kind of censorship is getting murdered/disappeared by a totalitarian government for speaking out against them. Kind of like what happens to critics of Putin, Snowden's current patron. But hey, I guess getting some mean tweets directed at you is pretty bad too.

Anyone appreciate the irony that Snowden's posts are probably monitored/vetted by the KGB?

lol

The field of web dev is so vast and nebulous, the idea that you can't learn anything new or that you've reached a permanent plateau in your career doesn't add up.

Also, Salesforce development is a specialized field. What you're basically saying is that in the entire, vast field of web development you can learn anything new or find anything interesting to do, so you want to move into something much more specialized/narrow in focus?

Can you provide some more details on what you're currently doing?
