Do you still need a college degree after attending a coding bootcamp?

It comes from a fruit analogy. A fruit that's not ripe yet and ready to eat is usually "green", like a banana. In this case it means they are too novice or beginning for the job, even if they passed the skills interviewed for or have the capacities needed for the job, they have less experience than a typical CS grad (who has lived in a CS world for 4 years and often had internships) and they don't hit the ground running as quickly - or they apply their capacities to hit the ground running but their gaps become apparent when they try to get promoted because they are putting their all into just getting by. I have one personal example. There as a new employee at Meta I was supporting for a task they were working on and I had no context. The person was super nice, asking a lot of questions, but didn't understand fairly basic concepts. They asked a lot of questions and tried hard but I gave feedback to their manager that they seemed a little behind despite trying really hard. The person was a bootcamp grad and I didn't know beforehand and had no bias. Great person and they are doing great as an engineer to this day, just needed longer to ramp up.
