I had been resisting it for a long time, but a friend of mine had gone to another bootcamp and had gotten a coding job. But I couldn't go to the one he did as it was only in-person.

Yeah the market is tough. It sounds like it wasn't an impulsive desition though at least.
While this doesn't at all justify the cost or the quality issues, I would see it as a stepping stone to something.
I recommend people go back to their old jobs OR get any job possible at a good tech company.
See the bootcamp as potentially useful coding practice in a long term journey.
That doesn't justify $16K for sub-par experience but just my advice.
