I'll admit I had several classmates who only took the course to make tech money, not because they had any passion for tech.

I think this is part of what I feel too but I dunno maybe it's a bit gatekeeper-y. I don't feel necessarily like I "earned" my way with college and others didn't, because you rarely end up using any of what you learn, and some of it is plainly fat from the beginning (like having to take chemistry).

Anecdotally, I've found boot camp grads to be weaker devs but it's hard to say cause you don't know the full extent of someone's experience, it's not apples to apples. Of course a CS grad with five years of industry experience will be almost always better than a boot camper with two years but sometimes that's all you have to go off in comparing.
