12 months is a bit arbitrary if taken literally, but I think the writing was already on the wall for bootcamps as an industry before the current economic crisis

12 months is a bit arbitrary if taken literally, but I think the writing was already on the wall for bootcamps as an industry before the current economic crisis. Bootcamps that only get paid when their graduates get jobs are even worse off - if hiring falls for software engineers, its going to the be the bottom tier candidates that get hit hardest. Folks coming out of a short program with little to no other experience are going to be greatly disadvantaged when experienced folks with better education are getting laid off and competing for a reduced pool of jobs.
