>Bootcamp grads that succeed are non-reproducible cases How about CS degree grads? Would you say they are reproducible cases?

CS degree from a top 10 university is still reproducing placed graduates. A top 30 is generally so too but a couple people have difficulty. After that I would say no, a CS degree isn't reproducible producing placed grads right now. The difference being that 4 years of school you learn a lot, even if you need more to get a job. What you learn can be applied in other fields. A 12 week bootcamp, you don't really learn anything useful in your career. You are purely trying to make yourself appear marketable to squeeze into a job.
