I agree. I was interviewing bootcamp grads since the first ones in 2012 and it has always been horrible from day 1. It's not because of hiring bias. Bootcamp grads actually performed more poorly in general on the job (not ALL OF THEM, but on AVERAGE). Now that doesn't mean there isn't a place for bootcamps or something wrong with the people. It's just not feasible to prepare someone in 12 weeks for a job and it takes bootcamp grads severals to slowly fill in the missing skills their bootcamps left them with.
