Seattle sucks, bro. Imagine being locked up 50-60 hrs a day coding in a foreign state away from everyone? That's the closest to slavery we can think of.

I achieved a similar outcome, minus the $12K and plus a law degree (never practiced). Have been a 24/7 computer dork since I was 10 and taught myself how to program, however.

wtf, any legit software engineering position will grill you on algorithms and data structures. nobody is learning that in some bullshit 2 month ruby on rails course.
