I generally take these types of articles with a grain of salt. The authors are selling their services. I've seen two types of bootcamp outcomes: 1) Data Science - For better or worse, the 3-4 data points I have did not produce great results. All but 1 struggled to get jobs. The 1 that did get a job with the help from his teacher struggled to keep jobs. The boot camp just wasn't long enough to teach what's needed. 2) Programming - Only one data point - I had a person who was a non-technical resource at a software company who used the bootcamp to get into a tech support (not development) role. He said it was much harder than his (non-technical) college degree. I'm inclined to agree, and it moved him nominally. I'm not a fan of much of college education, but the jury is still out on if these will supplant them.
