Gatekeeping may not be the best word, and I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. OP is not merely pointing out a deficiency: they are suggesting that there is a decline in software quality because of these non-CS people entering the market. Pointing out a deficiency and blaming said deficiencies for a trend of bad software quality are two very different claims. It suggests that one cannot produce good software without a CS background, with which I disagree as an absolute statement. That may be a slight leap, but I think OP made a pretty broad suggestion.

I haven't and wouldn't suggest that people be moved to a position with responsibilities over their head If you want to move up and you need to learn more, of course you need to find a way to learn the required concepts. I did this and continue to do it.

My point about bootcamps is most people who finish them aren't out there getting jobs that require knowledge of CPU pipelines. If that IS happening, someone is really bad at hiring.
