The only reason you have a vscode desktop app is because vscode is just plain old javascript and will work with whatever html runtime. Chromium or webkit. It has nothing to do with electron.

People want to have some leverage to get things they want done, done. Sys Admin -> DevOps (Cloud) Engineer. Things change. Adapt or die.
If you read IBM's coding standards from 1980 and compared them to Google's from 2000s and then to Today's AI journey, you would have complaints about each. Processes form from people. Change comes from people.
not for you... sell it. E1M1 Table for sale: $20,000. There are people out there that aren't woodworkers with lots of money for nostalgic stuff like this. Seal the top with glass (or clear acrylic) so you can see into the level. Oh man oh man.
Just because you work somewhere doesn’t make you an expert at what they do. My Home Depot cashier is incapable of installing the carpet I bought from them. There are levels. Everyone wants to pretend they have FB or Google scale when they are building only to find out they have Ruby on Rails scale after year 4. They don’t need a Stanford grad. They need a feature developer or someone who can break apart the monolith so they can scale beyond a single server or group of servers.
I think this is the reasonable approach I take. It's ok to explore and figure out the what. Once you know (or the business knows) then it's time to write a final spec and test coverage. In the end, the mantra should be "it's just code".
This rings home for me as well. I remember my (now ex) wife saying she was going to quit working and be a stay at home mom the day I hit $100k salary. Effectively cutting it in half economically. I feel like folks who say these kind of recommendations also need to preface the fact that not everyone can afford to. I couldn’t afford to put anything in a 401k for years.
I’ll be more keen on a candidate that has interesting GH projects and is self-taught than someone without GH and came from bootcamp. But if both have interesting projects, they both are equal as far as candidacy goes. I can only speak for myself. YMMV.
Here in the US we also take a good hard look at bootcamp graduates. Code school/bootcamp graduates I’ve found to be good enough to do most of the mundane web work broiler-plate we have to write. It gives them experience, it give us that broiler-plate code no one wants to write.
Bootcamp’s here like Turing or Galvanize cost $20k and take 4-6mos but you’ll get an entry level Dev job at $75k or more when you’re done. It’s been a really good experience. Some have been really good programmers, others not so much. Same could be said of any demographic. There’s performers and under performers.
