Low priced code jockies with "boot camp" or "self taught" level knowledge are working with industry to try to lower wages, and sure, there are plenty of menial coding tasks out there. Let them have em.
A 14-week training program is the "do you want fries with that" equivalent of coding, and will also get pushed down in wage. So once coding like that is at minimum wage, that's... Success, I guess? But good luck having that stay an easy path to the middle class.
"Anyone with no formal training and 14 weeks of time can make it to the middle class!" - boy is somebody over extrapolating how fast the labor market is going to correct for this. "Well paid" and "quickly trained" don't exist together for a reason (unless there is another component, like "very dangerous" added to the mix).
