I really liked this article and liz seems like she is on the right side of progress. I recently helped a freind at berkly with her work, this led me to find out that she had never learned java, and was expected to make a mini text editor. She explained this was berkly and not everyone was meant to pass. Liz presents things that really touched my heart, tinkering rather than jumping through hoops.
However, from working at a bootcamp and speaking to students who went to others. They are expensive, Unorganized and built in a way that makes students "feel satisfied" rather than prepared and hungry. GA in particular apparently hand holds immensely rather than have students sweat it out a bit. At 5 am, no one is there to help you or tell you what tp search. Additionally, those involved in this space usually are working with big investor money and paying big in order squeak out dollars from college students or people who font have the money to pay. The only person who worked with us above fourty quit because he didnt want to be a tax collector. Hack Reactor seems to be the best one out there but they are more interested in seeing who will survive than in seeing how to make sure everyone can swim
Bootcamps are imperfect but certainly in demand. I Do believe they are a good mutation in the education field. Cutting out fat and creating cultures. But there is still a lot of work to be done before I can say they can accept my praise
