I read feedback about any bootcamp or any CS program with the background understanding that there must necessarily be loads of dissatisfied customers, people who can’t handle CS or software development. It is illuminating to poke through the article to the source material.

In my experience (went to a bootcamp 5 years ago, taught at a few since) bootcamps are amazing for people who have the drive and interest, and ideally some prior knowledge. They give you a place to meet like minded people, and really focus on learning/implementing your knowledge. The quality of the education is generally less important than the quality of the people. People who are just expecting to get a quick job and don't actually give a shit about the internet and programming should not be in bootcamps, but often are, and are probably the source of most negative feedback.
