[That's a good point, though it should be noted that a portion of that 4-year curriculum is non-CS stuff - electives, general education classes, etc. But still, yes, bootcamps definitely leave gaps to fill.](https://hashnode.com/posts/are-computer-science-degrees-still-relevant/652999d2dd10fc517e05db6f/comment/652a454ed2fa06034fe35ad1#reply-652a7976069d0e037f9a8da1)

[Andrew James Okpainmo You need to be realistic. This article is a good read (replace "21 days" with "12 months"): http://norvig.com/21-days.html](https://hashnode.com/posts/become-a-software-developer-in-12-months/6308f8054d50fd71142c7ab3/comment/630a30264d50fd71142ca716#reply-630a55ad38843b71397868a0)

[The section on position: absolute is not quite accurate - the element is not necessarily positioned relative to its parent container. An absolutely positioned element is positioned relative to the nearest ancestor (not necessarily direct parent) that has a position other than static. Sometimes it can get a little tricky. To make an absolutely positioned element relative to its containing element, you can just set position: relative on the parent.](https://hashnode.com/posts/position-absolute-position-relative/61f0448787fd2728e7cd3dd0/comment/61f0b76687fd2728e7cd47be)

Tailwind definitely has its uses but I typically reach for good old CSS these days.](https://hashnode.com/posts/which-is-faster-tailwind-or-pure-css/61f047b5e247b2151e61f674/comment/61f0b5e287fd2728e7cd47b4)
