Unrelated to the topic at hand, but would you mind enumerating a few of these fundamental concepts you feel bootcamp grads lack? Do you mean things like basic algorithms and data structures?
I have a background in Ops and I'm working on rounding out my skill set with a more solid understanding of development. I briefly considered a bootcamp, but came to the same conclusion you've shared here. I'm comfortable as an autodidact, but some advanced concepts that I need to be aware of would be useful.
edit: I see this was already addressed in a later post, which I'll quote below. I'll leave this here for the sake of discussion.
> More specifically, things like time complexity, algorithms, data-structures, programming languages, compilers, and by extension discreet maths, formal language theory and software planning/architecture are some of the non-bootcamp concepts that have limited use as a junior dev working on pieces of a larger project.
