Hello HN community,<p>I've been wrestling with a decision about advancing my tech career and I would love to hear your thoughts and personal experiences. Given the evolving landscape of tech education, I'm torn between joining a coding bootcamp or taking the self-learning route.<p>1. For those of you who have attended coding bootcamps recently, what was your experience? Was it worth the investment in terms of time and money?<p>2. For the self-learners, what resources did you find most effective and how do you stay motivated and on track without a structured program?<p>3. Employers and seasoned developers in the community, how do you view bootcamp grads versus self-taught developers in terms of skills and readiness for real-world projects?<p>Your insights could be incredibly helpful, not just to me but to many others in a similar position. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
