The number of people in the industry will increase regardless, whether it's through Google boot camps or otherwise.

When given the choice between diploma mill graduates and Google Developer Bootcamp graduates, I will choose the latter. And you will too.

Bare-minimum spaghetti code from passionless software developers is going to be mass produced and it will continue to be mass produced.

Honestly, I think we should look at this from a pair-programming perspective -- but on a massive scale. It is more beneficial to partner with existing educational institutions and make an on-going, consistent, and strong effort to create a robust pipeline from school to the industry.

No kidding! The code they can write are naive solutions which may likely slow down the code/app as it 'scales'. As a computer scientist, I'm not threatened by those whose entire development expertise is the boot camp that they went to (as some seem to imply in this thread). But I fear that once their boss asks them to 'make this faster', they'll have a much harder time doing so since they may not have the proper CS fundamentals (e.g. can they profile code and see if it reflects the general theoretical run time?). They may risk their jobs if their employers may start to think they don't have the actual chops they were hired for.

It should be noted that many developers with CS degrees write spaghetti code and make poor architectural decisions.
