> Code academies are simply another means by which humans will become part of the software industry and the status and stature of developers so initiated will be manifold. Or to put it another way: dev quality is independent of education. I agree with that. The point I was making was more about what it actually takes to become a really good programmer. Against the 10 or 20 years of experience it takes, both college and a boot camp look roughly the same: approximately irrelevant (although studying classic computer science, operating systems, algorithms and data-structures, are all quite relevant)
