Coding bootcamps swept the Bay Area a few years ago as two demands converged: startups' demand for programmers, and liberal arts majors' demand for stable, well-paying jobs. In a typical bootcamp, students study programming and build websites for twelve to sixteen 80-hour weeks with the goal of landing a programming job after graduation (tuition: 12k-18k). The model has proven effective enough to warrant their rapid spread to every major U.S. and E.U. city.

Given that, I propose that we expand the coding bootcamp model to train other high-demand skills and address some critical gaps in our generation's competencies:

• Starting a cult or LLC bootcamp
• Effective altruism bootcamp
• Understanding historical context and systemic bias bootcamp
• Taking personal and professional risks bootcamp
• Extraversion for introverts bootcamp
• Accepting criticism bootcamp
• Authentic kindness bootcamp
• Dealing with failure bootcamp
• Feeding yourself and others bootcamp
• Eye contact bootcamp
• Taking responsibility for the problem and the solution bootcamp
• Remembering where you put the thing bootcamp
• Not checking Twitter bootcamp
• Fix anything in your house bootcamp
• Calling your mom more often bootcamp
• Feeling comfortable with long silences bootcamp
• Taking a decent selfie bootcamp
• Living with another person bootcamp
• Putting weights away after you're done using them at the gym bootcamp (men only)
• Feeling content by yourself bootcamp
• Feeling content around other people bootcamp
• Twerking bootcamp
