First week in .Net Software Engineer Bootcamp at PT Xsis

So this week I'm actually busy being in a software engineer bootcamp at PT Xsis. At first, I tried my luck by applying to them, and honestly, I thought I won't get in. But, luck says different thing, and I got in. So, you might wonder what the hell did I do in this bootcamp? Well, sit down, grab some snacks and drink, lemme tell you a story in this bootcamp...

So after I went through the tests to get accepted, I got a call that I got accepted and need to sign contract to attend the bootcamp. I thought "oh shit, this sounds interesting, and I've been idling for a quite a time too, so why the fuck not," and so I went and sign the contract. In case you're wondering, "does this idiot read what the contract says?" Well of course fam, one of the basic way to ensure your security is to read any agreement you come across, less they'll fuck you back in the ass. In case you're wondering, the contract said that I need a legalized permission of my parent - which Xsis provided for me - OR, OPTIONALLY, my latest study certificate. And as you can guess, I only give them the legalized permission. And the contract binds me for as long as the bootcamp, and if I can pass the bootcamp, it binds me for 2 years, and of course there's penalty for the side who decided to bail out.

So what am I doing in this bootcamp? Well to paint the bigger picture, 8-9 hours of coding plus a few hours of assignment. Yep, lots of coding happening in this bootcamp, though for the first week, it's mostly logic in C#. Which mean the participant brain is molded to understand how the C# logic works. So far it's mostly coding algorithm to make a pattern, and as the week goes on, it goes harder too, well, maybe for me, but I don't know. Well, aside from that, the trainer is also quite nice and helpful. If we don't understand some stuff, we have to do live coding so the class can solve the problem together. And overall the experience is nice, sometimes the trainer share their work experience, and sometimes we also learn about softskill too. I did mention that I need to pass the bootcamp, right? There's a test in week 2 and 7, which we need to do in order to get employment, if we don't pass it, either our contract terminated or we are move to other division which need our skills.

In conclusion, it's a good experience and work opportunity, but if I must say, the bootcamp is the natural selection process. All of the participant can pass but some can't, and frankly, I don't think I could, but who knows. I think that's all I can share, my mind has been about coding this past week, so this won't be the usual rant. Till next time then.
