Reading the post and this thread makes me feel very lucky. I didn't attend either a bootcamp or college, simply got to know people who coded a lot and did lots and lots of tutorials and made a few demos to get in as an intern (on the recommendation from one of those people). I'm now a pretty senior developer at a startup. I'm not sure how to recommend people get into the industry - nobody seems able to or willing to take the time to hire greenhorns anymore unless they come with a degree.
