Instead of gatekeeping off what we each consider a developer to be, let’s relate it back to the article. The problem for bootcamp grads is that at the FAANG level (the companies with money and motivation to train juniors) they only hire juniors who interned at FAANG. They only recruit interns from universities. So if you just got out of a 12 week bootcamp, going to be hard to compete with a 4 year degree (or graduate) + 3 months work at a real company. Even outside the FAANG level, there are thousands of new grads with degrees and work experience applying for entry level jobs.
