Coding bootcamps are gaining in popularity. The combination of rising in remote learning, a serious talent crunch for coders, and a lack of confidence in the current educational system have been like gas on a fire. That's why Chad & Cheese brought on Liliana Monge, co-founder and CEO of Sabio Coding Bootcamp out of Los Angeles (but quickly going national). We discuss the changing demographics of remote learning, how Monge's business differentiates itself from the competition and why the hell there aren't more corporations sponsoring this kind of education!
Oh yeah, and how much does this stuff cost anyway?
