NuCamp has never been known for being the best quality, it's affordable and their pitch is like do the same materials that you do for $20K for 1/10th the cost.
But because of the relatively lower price point, their community isn't as strong and committed.
I talked to a Codesmith grad this week that theorized that because it costs so much, people want to stick it through and lie on their resumes to get something out of it instead of complaining about it and admitting they wasted $22,500.
Whereas as $2000, NuCamp has way more people testing the waters.
Anyways, the premise of these Vibe Coding course is ridiculous.
Like if you are curious about vibe coding and don't expect anything out of it... nothing wrong with it.
But bootcamps need to stop making people feel like they will be successful over night.
Running a tech company is brutal and only naive and crazy people should do it. Trying to lure people in with this idea that they can make a $1M company by vibe coding is ridiculous and idiotic.
But again, if you just want to learn Vibe Coding for $300 or something, and then go back to your old job, I have no problem with that.
