100% agree we are both entitled to opinions and I'm glad we label them as such.
I worked at Meta from 2009 to 2017 and bootcamps came on the scene in 2012. So I worked before, during, and after they settled down a bit.
I can't give facts because I'm not allowed to reveal confidential information about Meta, even though I left.
So you're right that I can only state an opinion. My opinion is based on my observations there working with recruiting, mentoring, hiring, interviewing over 400 people.
Those are very strong credentials but they are super limited to just Meta, during a period of time, and then my personal lens at Meta, and they are not facts.
Unless you have facts, maybe clarify at least what experiences are supporting your claims and then let people reading this interpret for themselves where the arguments land however they want.
