summary
CodeYourFuture builds a tailored pipeline with a partner to move trainees into real engineering roles and it gives childcare so parents can join. A three month intensive Golang bootcamp precedes a nine month internship and alumni contribute to Envoy in C++ and ship service discovery UIs and automation. Outcomes include reduced console cost by 60%, saved more than $1 million through a kube native console service, and three-month intensive Golang bootcamp trainees cutting propagation time 85% while halving resource use.
