The bootcamp in question has it on their website:

Maybe. I think they should stop calling it a bootcamp and simply refer to it as a technical degree in software. People might take it more seriously.

>refer to it as a technical degree in software

So, you think they should just blatantly lie about what their program is?

It isn't a degree of any kind, or anything even approaching a degree.

It is a bootcamp, and people should take it exactly as seriously as the name implies.

>So, you think they should just blatantly lie about what their program is?

Obviously not. My point is that the term used is too trendy. Calling it something more serious might prove more useful in the long term. Maybe even turning into something that is an actual technical degree with proper accreditation.

The notion that anyone can just call what they teach a "degree" is why I learned before I ever stepped foot in a college to never sign up or pay for a course that isn't accredited. (Aka, transferable as credit to other reputable colleges.)

In certain geographies 100k is a pretty safe bet after < 5 years.
