To clarify I think the biggest driver is how driven and self-taught the individual developer is. I don't think going through the paces of a bootcamp or CS degree is a great indicator in and of itself and all else equal IMO the bootcamp wins there. The best people I have worked with have been HS dropouts (fully self taught), MIT and a CMU grad who were very self taught before their program, and bootcamp grads who pivoted from other fields (oddly music, fine arts, and a standup comic. Maybe because in those fields being "good" is completely insufficient and they bring a "must be the best" mindset?)
