There are other ways yeah :D.
Ada Developer's Academy is free, 4 months of training and 5 month internship with their partners. They had to scale back because of the economy but it's been consistently reliable for getting people into the industry.
I also know several people who are self taught with a tech-adjacent background (other engineering degree or math degree) - focusing on LeetCode and gunning for entry level FAANG roles and got those jobs too (e.g. Amazon and Palantir). **I would not advise this at all right now because of the market** but it's a path that can work for the right people.
Apprenticeships are another pathway - seen several people with no experience get Apprenticeships (e.g. via OnRamp) that led to good jobs.
There's no one size fits all here and the hard part is figuring out what to even do! Too many people do a whack-a-mole approach where they start everything and don't finish anything.
