This is actually a good option even if it was a joke about Kamala. I know many people who got jobs after just a 6 month coding bootcamp. The expensive ones that only charge if you get a job within 18-36 months and they take some of your salary for 3 years, aren't scams. The 2 caveats are:

1) It's really fricking hard. It's not just memorization either. Kamala Harris would have no chance basically.
2) AI is making such strides in coding that junior level software engineers may be obsolete. I dabbled with a program and Chat GPT was able to do every single problem on a test within seconds. It gets more complicated when you're setting up a server and dozens if not hundreds of routes and such, but as long as AI keeps advancing, it's an inevitability that it will be able to do that, too.

All true and I know enough code that I know I hate it - self taught with help with friends that are developers. My current job designs software for investment managers.
