I think it's wonderful that a bootcamp leaves out requirements that involve stuff like sociology, art history, community service, political science, and similar undesired gunk. I think it is tolerable that a bootcamp leaves out 3 semesters of calculus, 3 semesters of physics, 2 semesters of discrete math, 1 semester of statistics, 1 semester of digital logic, more math, and more science. The value here is limited. What is terrible is that a bootcamp usually neglects anything outside of one narrow specialty that happens to be popular, typically web development. The typical bootcamp isn't teaching how to create a compiler, an OS, factory automation, life-critical software, or hard real-time software.
