I have to ask. Do you not feel the same level complement to give traditional universities this extreme level of scrutiny? Lord knows it's highly warrented.

I mean my university's web programming course was so bad that I wrote a letter to the dean explaining how I had already learned this on my own and got a job at Facebook lined up and what was taught in the course was embarrassingly wrong and outdated.
It took them a few years to finally update it and kept me in the loop.
The university cost $20K for 4 years and I did dozens of courses that actually were really good, and some not.
Finally, my program's goal was to get you into a top PhD program, and I did that path but withdrew for Facebook and they were disappointed in me.
So it's a completely different thing.
My department chair though was doing sell presentation that sounded an awful lot like Codemsith about how for 80 years they have produced engineers capable of solving the world's hardest problems and are leaders because of their ability to bridge communication gaps and execute in solutions
Someone calling that happens in 12 weeks though is very different than a program that was literally 10 times longer.
