Coding Bootcamps Still Worth It?

I did a break down of the "achetypes" of top bootcamp grads in their first year post job. And I do think the majority of top grads do indeed see the 12 hour days of the bootcamp as much "harder" technically that most non-top-tier jobs, and that communicating well cross function and to other engineers and making sure you are on the same page, is important. I've heard in a Codesmith session that Software Engineers "nowadays" don't just write code like "they used to" and are collaborative team members. From what I've seen, nothing has really changed and that was always really important and hasn't really changed. The biggest change is that entry level engineers don't need as much hard tech skills because we have AWS, Google Cloud, and all kinds of frameworks and tools, like VS Code, so entry levels engineers can differentiate themselves by being great team members and communicators. It's absolutely not true that mid level and senior engineers get there primarily by being good communicators and problem solvers - they need hard skills that bootcamps don't teach and that take a long time to build (not because of aptitude but because while you can control your speed, you can't control the speed of typical users who use your product and you need to learn over time interacting with those users those technical and hard skills that help you level up.
