#2Awesome idea! I'm very interested to see how this plays out, as my shop (along with quite a few others that I'm aware of) are combating the shortage through apprenticeship programs. This looks like to be a super-structured version of just that.
Congrats to Chad Fowler, Jeff Casimir, and everyone else involved.

Sounds like a great opportunity. Is it open to non-US citizens? :)

When does the five-month program start?

#6Is it just me, or is it just the cultural difference (I am from germany, where we - god be blessed - have laws against these kind of hours)- but if I am expected to work 70h+/week in this thing, I belive, the same would be expected if anyone gets that job.
Well done. slavery seems back at last.

They're being paid. I think the slavery charge is a bit much.
Plus, you don't know the program structure. That may include homework/group sort of stuff in addition to work and instruction. It'll be like 5 months of college with a job. It's no different if you actually calculate the time investment.

That's fair. We wanted to make sure people know this isn't just "show up at 9, leave at 5." There are significant outside of the workday tasks like hacking on projects, reading books, meeting with colleagues, and teaching Ruby to kids.
But I'm not chaining anyone to a desk for 70 hours because _I_ don't want to live that way, either.
