I’ve decided to enroll in the Flatiron School’s software engineering program.

I had initially planned on preparing for this career shift using only free sources, and I still think that would have probably worked out. But working with a formal bootcamp offers several benefits:

• external accountability, which is not essential but is certainly welcome
• tied-and-true curriculum
• career support services

This last benefit is particularly important. I feel like I cannot afford to operate without the safety net it provides.

So, I’m currently working through the prework prior to my August 8 start date. So far, so good.
