It's great your pool guy is furthering his education and going into tech but there is a skill gap between experienced ex-FAANG and those jumping into software for the pay check. Bootcamp/College grads are not competing at the same level as those who have 5+ years of good experience and a passion for tech (as most of us have, being on HN on a Friday evening/workday).

And make long rants about how they only make $200k/year.

Poolboy will be happy to make anything significantly higher than what they make cleaning pools and won’t know about the good old days when you could call up the on staff chef and have food delivered to your cubicle. He’d be like “what’s a cubicle?”
