Lol.. the burger flipping cracked me so hard..

Lol. Getting a degree from a university doesnt mean u r a genius. U must work hard for it. Remember always self help is the best help

You should learn it on ur own through online resources and work to gain experience. Do personal projects nd u will grow

live and let people live.

Stop discouraging people.

And there is nothing wrong with burger flipping. Every job is difficult.

Ibrahim Tanyalcin Giving people false hope is not a virtue.

Life is vast, time is limited, not everyone knows everything, especially when your lifetime is a spec of dust in this universe. No one knows enough to give advice about other's life choices.

You cannot know his conditions, you cannot calculate beforehand what he is going to create. You can only give a probability from a tiny set of observations conceived in your limited skull size, which we all have.

Statistics is good, it tells you about empirical data but we need to set our priorities and red lines right, especially when we affect other's life choices.

Everyone should be able to do what they love, regardless of their chance of success. Otherwise we open the pandoras box by treating humans as goods that can be classified. That is morally corrupt, that is morally disgusting, that is morally pitiful.

I have seen more people that works at respectable fortune companies that could not create shit in 10 years whereas a fresh college graduate could make an amazing app in two months. I have seen people at 14 years old doing unbelievable stuff without any diploma.

Whether giving people false hope is a virtue or not is arbitrary as we do not know ahead of time what this gentlemen might create.

But pretending to know what will happen ahead of time is equivalent of being a charlatan.

Dude, calm down. What does the infinity of the universe have to do with this?

Guy is asking "can I learn software engineering from a bootcamp?". The obvious answer is "no". Notice I did add "unless you're exceptionally intelligent". The guy can judge for himself whether he's exceptionally intelligent or not.

Most people can't do it. If you go around telling people they can, you are giving people false hope. Once they endeavour on this venture and eventually fail, as most surely will, they will feel devastated; they will think there's something fundamentally wrong with them for not being able to program, even though you and others like you told them that "anyone can do it". Well, if "anyone can do it", how come I can't? Surely I'm exceptionally stupid?

No, it's other way around. Most people can't do it. It's normal. There's nothing to be ashamed or devastated about. Not everyone has to be a software engineer. Stop deluding people with false hopes. It's immoral.

What does the infinity of the universe have to do with this?

It has to do with the fact that our understanding about everything is limited even with the ones we 'think we know' well enough. Therefore sometimes it might be better to not intervene/talk and observe.

You obviously could not figure that out, but yet continue to elaborate on your point.. It's ok. As you said:

there is nothing to be ashamed or devastated about.

Btw, I'm not a 'dude', I have a first name and a last name. I'll make it easy for you, it's right next to my profile picture.

Kapish?

OK Mr Ibrahim Tanyalcin, let's go around telling people they become software engineers by taking a bootcamp course. Since the universe is infinite, we absolutely cannot make any reasonable prediction what would happen. It's not like we can reasonably conclude that most of them will not really learn that much and will not be qualified for any serious programming job.

But somehow, even though the universe is infinite, you know that if we give actual reasonable advice on the internet, we will be crushing people's dreams and that will be bad for them. Funny. How did you know that?
