I have met some good bootcamp devs, and many bad ones, but I can say for sure that good ones do exist. That being said, I wouldn't give a fresh MIT grad a dime for a new startup. Some people will (I've met them) but it's just too risky. You need to learn from senior devs, I learned the most from grey beards.
