"He’s skeptical of bootcamper applicants and is more inclined to hire four-year CS degree graduates, especially for the most in-demand positions: “full stack” developers who possess a range of coding skills. He compares the skillsets of bootcampers to performing auto repair on a car, versus the kind of large-scale, architectural skills of your standard CS degree holder, who can do everything from small repairs to making deep structural changes. “You emerge from a bootcamp fit to do an oil change, but not design a car,” he said."
If employers prefer actual CS degrees, they should be pushing to make obtaining said degrees not require people to go into massive amounts of debt. The "gold rush" might be part of the issue here, but the cost of bootcamp certs vs degrees is not insignificant, as the article states.
