re: bootcamps - I think bootcamps should exist! I think two models can work right now:
1. small school, a couple of employees, 20 person cohorts, extended projects/support/help and dedicated effort for each student to help them find something (beyond just mentorship above)
2. school aiming to fill non-software jobs, like "ai prompt engineers", that can adapt to the demand of these "future blue collar jobs" much faster than other forms of education and get people into those jobs quicker. this is competitive with certificate programs more than schools, but a bootcamp could be the more flexible, exciting, intense pathway as opposed to a more boring certificate.
