When considering what people take from a CS education (and I come from one), I don't think it's the fundamentals, concepts or theory that's important if you are interested in building software. I think it's the skills you gain from being in that environment for 3 or 4 years: being able to think abstractly and decompose problems, being able to design systems etc. I can't necessarily name X, Y or Z algorithms or data structures off the top of my head, but I do know how to take a problem, think about it and solve it. If you can get these skills elsewhere then great. I've mentored people doing web development bootcamps and this is always the advice I give them.
