Yeah :S. There are people it's still for, but it's a small number and there's no systematic program to do it.
My friend said something like 'The top 1% of people who go to college don't need college. College is for the 99%'.
A similar thing applies here. Bootcamps are structured and generic AND the top 1% of people who want to become SWEs don't need them either.
If the 99% did well enough to justify the existence, then maybe they keep going - dreams of recruiting the 1% to build reputation so that the 99% go and get generic outcomes.
But the 99% is basically not going.
So a school could exist as a special place for the 1%, but that kind of place is like a founder and a couple staff, not something marketing on LinkedIn.
