About
The Junior Developer Crisis
About
Since 2013 the number of coding bootcamp graduates has increased from under 3.000 to over 30.000 per year. Remote work makes it difficult for junior developers to get mentorship from colleagues, and developers now change jobs every 1.8 years on average, so companies are less willing to invest in training juniors.
The result: Most companies only want to hire developers that can already get the job done, and junior developers face an almost impossible task in finding their first job.
In this talk we will discuss:Examples of how organizations are tackling this issue (apprenticeships, mentorship)Do coding bootcamps have a future?The role AI + No-code tools might play in the future
