But what is missing from a students POV? You run a business for technical interview prep - so you should know more than anyone else.

We only work with people that have worked in industry for a while, and there are dozens of things those people thought were missing from their bootcamps. It's a harder question than it sounds because the common thread in the comments I hear is that people had NO idea what they didn't know when they graduated from their bootcamps. Like "Codemsith told me I did system design after one lecture to be at the mid level and I knew almost nothing at all about it" If you actually address all of the gaps, you would end up building something that looks like a college degree in CS, maybe some kind of 2 year long college-like program that would have to cost 5X the current bootcamp prices (I.e. what college costs)
