funny part about a 4 year CS degree. only 50% of that actually is programming or even not. consider a degree, 1st year 6 out of 8 course you take are "mandatory" others, like math, sci, social science, economic....whatever in that mix then your 2nd year will have a few more el

I did a special degree and out of 40 courses over 4 years, only 3 were not engineering related:
1. History of Ancient Greece
2. Sociology 101
3. Philosophy of Ethics
And I use 2 and 3 almost all the time now hahahaha.
But I get what you're saying and that's why someone who wants to hyperconcentrate in CS can probably do it much faster, just not 12 weeks.
You need some baking time! Like you need to push, sleep, let your brain absorb the ideas, and keep going.
I think I did intro CS courses in various ways like 5 times before I understood what the heck was going on just barely enough.
It's not linear like a bootcamp tries to make it!
