If a only a small portion of the population will be adept at programming, and training is less important, then it's likely that most of the potential talent does not have formal training incompetent science. Therefore, coding schools should give a second opportunity for those tho did not study computer science in a formal university setting. Learning to code may help reveal those very people.

I was a Math/Econ double major with a minor in applied statistics. I did the finance path for 6 years before choosing to go back and do a boot camp. I've done very well since then, although it's likely due to my educational background. None of this describes the average student, but I think my case reinforces your point about opportunities. If the program didn't exist, I'd still be trading equities and contributing very little to society.

I assume you meant, "formal training in computer science," not "formal training incompetent science". Autocorrect!!
