You bring up an interesting point. How do people feel about boot camps? I looked into them a while ago when a friend asked me for a recommendation since he was interested in switching careers. The reviews and experiences I came across were mixed. Some positive and a lot of mediocre ones. Boot camps didn’t seem like they were the disruption to 4 year degrees they were once billed as.

If online bootcamps and schools were killing it right now then I could see the argument that they’re the ones to watch. But as it stands I don’t know that there’s an obvious winner. Like you said, universities might be the ones who end up driving the change.

I feel like I have seen mostly negative reviews and impressions come out of them. I'm sure there are some good ones, but I remember specific claims against some of them being that they inflate their own job placement numbers by just employing previous graduates as TAs and instructors to keep the machine going.

I think a much more practical option in the long-term will be something like what Shopify is doing with their Dev Degree program - https://devdegree.ca.
