I'm not sure why you thought this was a valuable comment to leave here. CS degrees and bootcamp grads can absolutely co-exist in organizations and increase the code quality and productivity across the board. You may have not had great experience with a particular bootcamp grad or a particular bootcamp curriculum, but this community's standards are to be empathetic.

What you fail to mention is that bootcamp offers a structured look into specific topics or programming languages, something you can't necessarily get from just searching around on the internet reading tutorials and books. By the way, programming books are often outdated the moment they are published.

I'd ask that in the future when you post comments, you take a little more consideration into how you might feel if someone commented like this about your CS degree. Bootcamp can be the stepping stone folks need to realize they want a more formal CS education, and not all Bootcamps are created equal.
