So my own anecdotal evidence against this is that the hiring process at my very first job did not weight having a relevant degree very highly, and hired a number of boot camp grads as software developers, many of whom literally could not do the job. I would say many of them had much less drive than the degree holders (not saying this is true for all non degree holders or even bootcamp grads, I know that some of the most driven people out there do not hold a degree)

I could certainly see that happening. But I would lump them in with being educated. Since they most likely did do a 9-5 4-5 days per week bootcamp (assuming). I've encountered people with masters degrees unable to do very basic development. Understanding all the jargon but not able to perform anything beyond basics. Some how these people survive in some businesses. Staying under the radar.
