A boot camp graduate may be able to do a copy paste job on some existing code or do the limited tasks that they taught in the boot camp, but the person isn't going to be very versatile. It's the difference between a musician who can improvise and one who can play what's on the sheet. Often, companies like to portray development types as all having the same value, but the copy and fill in the blank style tasks are actually not that valuable. Investors don't know the difference though, and that's why boot camps make their money. If I was a startup looking for funding, i would hire a boot camper. If I was someone desperate to get a complex project finished I wouldn't hire a boot camper, but instead someone with 10+ years of what I would call graduate school level work.
