I just undertook something similar to what you are describing. I'm currently in a data analytics role at a large company and had been looking to get my MBA at a respectable school to transition into product management. I went into a part-time bootcamp with the goals of 1) improving my own technical understanding to be able to run a product team 2) bolster my MBA app profile and 3) be able to prototype and build my own things if I ever start my own company. So definitely not with the goal of being a developer. I am going to business school this fall and am quite happy with how everything turned out. I really enjoyed the bootcamp, fully understanding that the material was more or less survey-level. People will also tell you that bootcamps aren't necessary because you can self-learn and there are lots of resources out there - but I believe that to be true of almost anything nowadays. The toughest thing for me when understanding coding and development is distilling down the massive amount of info out there and having the context of relevant technologies, how they are used, what's important etc. which I think would be really tough to learn on your own. Also having a structured environment and learning with a cohort is something that should not be discounted. If you think this is something you might want to do, I'd say go for it. I'm not sure you'd go from a 3 to an 8 on tech chops, but maybe a 6 and then depending on how much more learning you do on your own. It's also a lifelong learning thing - so the value is less about the specific languages and frameworks you learn, and more about knowing how to build an app and the process of coding (since it will all be different in 3 years anyway). I'm also not sure how much the bootcamp bolstered my applications, but I found it to be a valuable experience nonetheless.
