You think the bootcamp education is low quality?

It’s the nature of bootcamps that I think they could never offer the overall quality to compete with a good CS degrees education quality.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do a bootcamp, that they are all bad, or that there aren’t good specific instructors out there at bootcamps.
For example, one of the top bootcamps, their DS&A has a as a day or two on data structures just covering all topics at once and then a day or two on algorithms, just dumping it all on you. And the instructors have never worked in industry and graduated from the program.
Versus my degree where my first 16 week course was data structures and algorithms taught by one of the best teachers at the school who is an industry leading researcher and professor, and then did 20 more courses after that. including an entire other course on advanced data structures and complexity analysis.
