"Breaking into tech has never been easier." The market is actually ice cold, as a software engineer I'd advise NOBODY to do a bootcamp.

“Breaking into the software engineer world has never been easier”…. Selling a scam bootcamp. Kind of sad….

Everyone is getting laid off and your scam bootcamp can promise 87% getting hired in 6 months is 110% absolute bs right now.

87% of your sponsor CS bootcamp’s grads land a job within 6 months? I’m sorry, but those stats are probably incredibly cherry-picked, and you should know that too. I like your videos, please don’t shill borderline scam companies

Worst sponsorship Ad I’ve’ seen in a long time. Stop promoting scams. I love your channel but your sponsorships are hideous

I hope you take the sponsor criticism to heart. There is no boot camp getting close to 50% placement rates anymore. It’s downright hard to get an entry level programming job currently. It’s a scam to claim 80%+ placement rates.

After the sponsor ad I came straight to the comments 🍿

awkward time to say that breaking into the tech industry has never been easier.

find a more credible spoinsor bro or dont

Whenever I see a company doing a very aggressive advertising, I immediately consider their product inferior. There is no way you can put that huge amount of money into ads and then remain with enough to make a quality product at a reasonable price.

"Breaking into tech industry has never been easier" Bro I am a recent CS grad from T10 school with 3.91 GPA and I'm struggling to land a job.

Thank you Mr. Wall Street Millennial for the informational background noise while I work

Hey bro just found ur channel I see ur new Do not sell your soul for bad companies it will ruin ur reputation So don’t shill for these companies dude

I bought a GoPro last year, used it for a month, then chucked it in a drawer. Dumbest purchase I’ve made in 8 years

Well, the company's founder had the protection of family money to cushion his fall. It's the investors who took a bath.

After watching several videos on the rise and fall of GoPro, I must admit, I'm uncertain what strategies they could have employed to withstand the competition from smartphones. Once consumers purchase a GoPro product, there's little incentive to buy another one until it breaks or until newer models with enhanced features are released. Inevitably, their decline seemed unavoidable.

Its gone so bad, that GoPro just recently started patent trolling Insta360 and is begging the US Gov to ban them (i assume DJI is next). Good riddance GoPro!

GoPro really is one of those "lightning in a bottle" things that tried to outgrow its niche and fell way short. They're too clumsy for spontaneous on-the-spot filming, not robust enough for anything feature length and despite basically being designed to be put in places where breakage is a risk, they're still too expensive to be easily replaceable for the average person. Outside of Youtube content creators with large enough budgets to buy multiples of them, they don't really have anything resembling a recurring market.
