I know it's en vogue to shit on boot camp students, at one point I did as well, but my experience with working with such students is that after a few years, they are on par with their peers who studied CS in college. Yes, they probably won't work in research roles or roles that require heavy math skills, but when it comes to your typical software engineering role, they're fine.

Also, runtime analysis isn't that difficult of a skill to pick up.

I don't know that they're shitting on bootcamp students. I've taught people how to program who later became productive working programmers. I couldn't have taught someone all the stuff I learned in CS. It would have taken forever and I'm not smart enough. I do hope the people who wrote the low-level libraries that the people I taught use went through a CS program, though.

Runtime analysis isn't that difficult of a skill to pick up if you have a decent university-level math background. You can be a productive programmer without that.
