That’s in Southern California :)

If it makes you feel better, I seriously doubt a (certified) one will do that. The smart ones realize that hospitalization can really derail your life and make you an even higher suicide risk.

Additionally, there is a big difference (in my opinion) between suicidal thoughts and actually acting on those thoughts.

Just from reading your post it doesn’t sound like you have much to worry about.

Alcoholics Anonymous helps with this for alcoholics. Generally friendships have to be built on some shared interest or experience, so I think it would be hard to create a solution for the general population.

Sushi - Not a huge sushi fan but have good things about Shizen and Cha-Ya

Healthy - Project Juice, Gracias Madre, Mixt (have heard good things), Nourish Cafe

Also Ike's, it's not very healthy but they make great sandwiches.

Check out Toastmasters! Great way to improve your speaking skills.

Too many things! Write a compiler, master Angular 2 and TypeScript, learn much more about systems design and scalability. Maybe even some machine learning.

Always glad to see Microsoft stepping up their game :)

Not surprised by this, they made it pretty clear at their dev summit that ES6 was a priority.

Congrats! I remember seeing someone from your team doing a demo at an SF JavaScript meetup. Looks very interesting.

Just saw the notification on my app this morning. Very unfortunate - I've been using it for as long as I remember, it was my favorite calendar app.

Any alternatives?

Well, Outlook on Android/iOS has most of Sunrise built in.

Bootcamp grad here. Honestly, I don't think it really matters what bootcamp you go to. I think the defining factor for getting a job depends on what you did before the bootcamp. If you're a college dropout (like me) don't even think about it. However, if you've had a successful career in your field and want to make a switch, you should have no issue getting a job.

As far as the most respected bootcamps, based on who I've talked to I would say App Academy, Hack Reactor.

Do you mean had a successful career in a non-tech field and making the switch?

Yes, that's correct. My cohort had a former music teacher go straight to a front-end role at Apple. We also have graduates working at Salesforce, Coursera, a16z, and others - to my knowledge none of these people had prior tech experience.

My running theory is that companies know what they're getting into with a bootcamp grad, and what is important to them is that the candidate is a quick learner, hard working, and motivated. Someone unproven like a college dropout, or someone who has worked retail for the past few years will have a much harder time proving that.

Interesting. What would you say is the average age of these people? Would you say a 31 year old would be on the "older" side comparably?

Average age I would say is mid to late 20's. I believe the youngest in our cohort was 20, and the oldest was around 40.

I think a 31 year old would fit in just fine.

Hack Reactor grad here. I was 24 when I went through the program, and was the second youngest person. You'd feel right at home being 31.

I'm more concerned with job outcomes and long term career prospects than the course itself though.

If you are concerned with outcomes I would strongly recommend not going to HR or an affiliated school. There has been internal conflict about the declining quality of cohorts, and I believe the 97% hiring statistic is no longer accurate. I went to a HR affiliate and have been unemployed for the past five months since I have graduated.

I can't comment on App Academy because I have not taken their course.
