I've had my suspicions about the rebranding of vocational schools as "hacker schools" and "bootcamps". Regulation and accreditation, while stifling, does allow government aid and ensures some kind of minimum quality (like restaurant health inspections). That being said, I still think there is a valid business in training developers who want to change "stacks" (i.e. Embedded dev jumping into web dev, C# dev jumping into Erlang). The stacks, and ecosystems, are just complex enough to require allocating a lot of free time to becoming proficient and employable. Not everyone is an autodidact. (Perhaps, this is also the solution to the old "developers burn out at 35" axiom.)
