Ask HN: Employers, experience with hiring Coding Bootcamp grads?

It works really well if you find a motivated candidate and have a lead developer that is both good and capable / interested in teaching others to become better developers. However, they aren't experienced in any sense of the word. Simple, small tasks, with extensive code review and time built-in to let them fix their own bugs, is necessary.

Your expectations need to match the reality and you have to be willing to invest.
