So far I haven't been impressed with Boot Camp graduates, but people said the same thing about early mobile phones, GUIs and other technologies.

- chessmaster1998 10y agoPeople say that boot camp graduates are not impressive, but you could say the same thing about new college grads, as well, IMHO. Many of them have little / no real experience, except for a few unambitious projects. This is not the case at all schools, but I've definitely seen some expensive CS programs like this.
- mathattack 10y agoThis is my subjective opinion... Generally you can trust decent grades in a CS program no matter what the reputation of the school is. If someone can write a compiler, or operating system, or whatever else they specialize in, they can be free-standing with their learning. I haven't found this to be the case with "Non-technical degree plus bootcamp." Maybe the hit rate for boot camp grads is 1/3 that of CS? Perhaps it's not a fair comparison, but it's been my experience.
