Coding Boot Camps Get the Boot: Why the Industry Is Shutting Down
I think that bootcamps actually can work well for people who already have highly honed analytical and logical reasoning skills, but for whatever reason haven&#x27;t gotten involved in programming.  For instance, a linguistics or philosophy major, or maybe a pure math major, who hasn&#x27;t done any programming.  For example, in a math class on graph theory, we essentially did DFS and BFS, but through proof, not through code.<p>I think one of the reasons bootcamps may be closing is there just aren&#x27;t enough people like this to train.  6 weeks can do amazing things for people who come in with years of intense analytical training, but it&#x27;s not a curriculum that can create that core skill in 6 weeks - that takes years - actually, decades.
