When I was working in hi-tech any education not from a fully accredited state-sponsored school was discounted entirely.
Coding Bootcamps are good to interest children in software careers. They are good as contests to pit teams against each other in professional show-downs. They are not a substitute in any way for a software engineering degree. The entire basis of the article is false. in particular their assertion that "About a third of STEM employees don’t have any college degree at all" is laughable. I guess if you widen the definition of STEM wide enough you get to include sanitation engineers.
