The lie they are selling is that anyone can learn to code in 10 weeks. While this maybe true if you are targeting the correct subset of the population (those who do have a natural aptitude), it&#x27;s not true of a random sample of the entire population. Since these schools sample from the entire population, their chances of producing large numbers of skilled software developers are low, and therefore they will do little to help with the shortages of those developers.<p>Sounds like a reasonable argument to me.
