I think the biggest issue is that they're advertising it as a way for literally anyone to break into the tech industry. I love to imagine that everyone can code but that's not necessarily the case.
If you're capable you'll probably get a job regardless of what path you take (4 year university, community college, or bootcamp) and if you're not capable then it will be a struggle. However, the people who are capable overwhelmingly choose the more traditional paths and bootcamps end up getting the rest.
If there was a way to select students who were extremely smart and create a class of those people then I think you'd get a really good flywheel going. Smart people attract other smart people.
