Pretty much this. I show/tell people all the time that most of solving the problem is how you structure the input data. `Rock, Scissors, Paper` is perhaps the best simple demonstration of this.

That said, I don't think it's something that correlates to being a bootcamp grad. I'm usually the one `solving problems with code` and the closest thing that I have to an education in this industry is the boot camp I attended (lifelong programmer regardless). I know other boot camp grads who are the same way.

I encounter developers from all backgrounds who know how to code but can't solve problems. There's just _a lot_ of bootcamp grads right now.
