As someone who studied CS and a Bootcamp I must say that there is huge difference between being a Computer Engineer and a Software Developer. In the career I had the opportunity of learning the most important concepts about computer, networks, algorithms while learning about programming was secondary. In the Bootcamp, I learnt more about different technologies such as React, Node, Django... at the end, it teaches you on how to develop an application.

To sum up, if you want to focus your career only as a Software Developer, so doing a Bootcamp could be enough but it is true that a CS degree could open you more doors and gives you a wide knowledge that not any Bootcamp could ever teach you.
