What's old is new again.
Bootcamps remind me an awful lot of the certification mills of 15 years ago. It's the same 2 months or so and $10K or so with the suggestion that a well-paying job is waiting on the other side, just swap out MCSE / CCNA for Ruby / CSS.
I'm sure the cert mills launched some great admins, but I know from experience that they shoveled through plenty of people who had no real aptitude or enthusiasm diluting the field and completely devaluing those skills.
It took years and surely a number of painful interviews for those people to filter back out.
It's hard not to expect that bootcamps will play out the same way.
