User:CoalToCode


 * 1) CoalToCode is a social media hashtag that refers to coal miners who are retraining as software coders because of job losses in the mining industry. Once well-paying, coal mining jobs declined as a result of automation and a shift toward alternative fuels. Outside entities moved in with a profit motive to re-train workers in the economically disadvantaged region, where people are sometimes harmed by the very programs that were supposed to help them.  Coal to Code has come to mean "software boot-camp scam."
