Well I think hundreds of thousands is a stretch, given the survey you’re referencing was only 500 people. We also don’t know the backgrounds of the folks in the survey, and these types of surveys typically invite people who were successful and want to brag. In any case I’m sure

Bootcamp grads are getting jobs but the way I frame it is that they are getting jobs through non-reproducible paths. Meaning that a bootcamp can't systematically place people at scale, and each placement is a unique path leveraging anything from past background, adjacent work, friends, network, etc... that won't necessarily work for many others.
So bootcamps have a place, they just are fundamentally limited in how large they can be.
Launch School is doing ok, staying small and dedicated tons of effort to each placement.
