I didn't appreciate this comment at all. I have worked with folks from non-computer science backgrounds that only picked-up programming from a bootcamp and they were fine programmers for their level. I would gladly have them on my team over others that bring with them a bad attitude or cannot work well with others. There's more to a successful team than top-quality code on the first try. Very few people can do that, even among experienced developers. Bad code is due, in large part (in my experience) due to a lack of any kind of technical leadership. Put a competent tech lead or manager (i.e., one that can code/was a senior dev before) over even mediocre developers and you come come-up with decent code. Surely there are folks better than others, but bootcamp graduates aren't all bad and not the only source of bad programmers. It's more about attitude and willingness to learn than out-the-door abilities, in my opinion, as I stated elsewhere in the comments.
