Thank you for the insight. In this case, are there any that are worthwhile?

Right now I'm seeing success be more about YOU than about the program. If you have a raw aptitude for programming, extreme grit and ambition and you will not give up, about 12 to 18 months of savings to live off of, and either a STEM degree or an arts degree from a top 20-40 college.
Then I would start looking into it as an option.
But otherwise, I wouldn't even start looking. I would still explore programming with free courses on Coursera and keep the option open down the road. AI changes things but no one specifically what jobs that might result in, and being good at coding can help at a lot of jobs. But I would be thinking 3-5 years and not a couple months bootcamp.
