While I see what the author is getting at, I'm not sure I fully agree with him. -Deadlines This is literally every job. This is high school. This is easy to self impose. If you need a college degree to teach you the concept of deadlines I'm honestly a little surprised. -Teamwork I'll quote an old roommate on this: "College is just a piece of paper proving you can do group projects". While yes working in teams on a technical task is a skill, the majority of the projects I worked on in college didn't teach me this. The meme of "the rest of my group is useless" does seem oddly universal. Plus the author act like no one has ever done a group project in a bootcamp or at another job. -Communication So you learned to code but never learned to ask for help? Not on IRC/Slack/Discord? Not on stack overflow? Never at another job? -Prestige Can't argue with that. Majority of jobs list a college degree as a requirement. I'm sure someone has a better counter argument for this. Overall I don't really think this is a fair comparison. 4 years vs 6 months tops at a bootcamp vs whatever amount of time to just learn yourself. I distinctly remember a good portion of my time in my degree not being focused on what I actually wanted to learn and instead on things the school decided I should. Anthropology is interesting but why should it be required for my CS degree? That's X amount I had to spend on 3 credits plus time spent I could have taken something else more relevant.
