I agree, I think that falls under organizational practices

The worst developers I've worked with take 2 weeks for tickets that should be simple. That would mean doing 1 easy ticket every day or two makes you a 10x....

I've always hated this term and the mindset around it. I think organizational practices, intelligent engineering strategy, etc are far more important to the output of a team than hiring one genius dev.

I think that trying to reach difficult goals will spark new innovation. Also, it's not like there's a direct trade off.

I agree. I've been reluctant to click amazon links because I know ads will follow me around for weeks if I look at a single product.

I see. I've used them primarily for work, I'm not sure of a service that would cover your bases. I'm sorry that you're stuck with Skype for now!

What are your problems with Google Hangout, GoToMeeting and Zoom? I've found all three to be significantly less of a headache than skype.
I attended Fullstack Academy in NYC, completed in February of this year. I had some CS fundamentals under my belt from college before I attended. I'm currently employed as a developer and I feel like my education has properly equipped me for the Junior Dev role. Many people in this thread are saying that they must continue learning after the bootcamp - I'd be really surprised if any CS major decided to stop learning about programming after completing college. I'm extremely happy with the quality of education I received at my school, but I can't speak to other programs.
