The point of a CS degree isn't to teach you to code.
Also the amount of time spent in class is roughly equivalent between a 4 year CS degree and a rigorous, full-time bootcamp. 2 hrs of class, 4 days/week, 28 weeks/year in most universities vs. ~10 hrs/day, 6 days/week over 13-17 weeks in bootcamps.
- faissaloo 8y agoThe point of a CS degree is to make you give them money. That's it.
- bdcravens 8y agoPersonally, I'm anti-bootcamp, but I'd argue that many bootcampers are more employable in a junior role on day 0 than many CS grads. (Perhaps the solution is a bootcampish "finishing school" for CS grads where they are taught an in-demand framework or 2?)
- zerohp 8y agoThis is a false equivalency because in a bootcamp most of the learning is in class. In a CS degree program most of it is not. At a top university, students put in 60 hours a week for 16 weeks every semester.
