In the mid 20th century coding was seen as a trade school skill. Perhaps boot camps are another version of this. When I attended MIT in the 1970s there was no pure computer science major even though competitor schools had such. The faculty said it was a skill most of the students picked up in high school. In 1980 MIT made computer science a co-major with electrical engineering. And finally last year an independent school.
