In a last hope to survive, bootcamps are going all in on "Gen AI" programs aimed at their own alumni - 3.5 major bootcamps pivoting to Gen AI courses (Codesmith, BloomTech, App Academy, Deep Atlas (original Hack Reactor team)). AA and BT have PAUSED all SWE programs as of today (Opinions Inside)

It's the new and shiny thing everyone is chasing. I definitely think it'll have a role in the life of a developer, but I agree that it won't take over the role of a software engineer.

Update: an alumni told me they can't even book any mock interviews with anyone anymore and that November has no times available for mocks, resume evaluations, etc... I'm super concerned Codesmith is going all in on AI and the SWE immersive is imploding behind them :(
