BREAKING NEWS: Codesmith 2023 official outcomes published: CANNOT BE WORSE - placement rate crashed from 70% to 29%. Enrollment also tanked over 50%. The software engineering bootcamp era is over.

Bootcamps and crappy CS degrees took advantage of market inefficiencies. Those inefficiencies corrected. I bet you you can learn to be an accountant on 12 months too. The college system isn't about learning skills but about working your way through a system that bubbles up the top people over 4 years and hands those people to the top companies in a silver platter. Most importantly, the bootcamp system had it's shot to show that it can be a better system and it failed or it would have replaced college. Big tech went back to the top colleges and unless you think they are idiots they are doing so for a reason and abandoning bootcamps. TLDR: can the right person be hirable via a bootcamp in 12 months? yes. Is the bootcamp model consistently producing qualified people more reliable than CS degrees. That's a proven no.
