I get the perception that people are afraid that these bootcamps will saturate the marketplace and bring salaries and software quality down. Which could happen, but it also might not. Many of these grads could go on to create companies themselves and create new jobs, and hey before you know it you'll be working for a 'bootcamp' grad.

I'm a bootcamp grad and don't believe everyone can 'learn' to code. Same that everyone can't learn to be a doctor. Everyone has the aptitude to be spoonfed coding principles or medical terms, but its up to them to really understand the concepts and then take them to the next level. Many of the grads you see coming out of the bootcamps may not end up going down the track of software engineering, they may end up in product, qa, devops, etc... Many of them might not even become senior because they either don't have the desire to, or just don't have the capacity to do so. At the end of the day these bootcamps offer people tools, its up to the people who graduate from them to really sharpen and build great things from those tools.
