There’s absolutely no comparison to be made between a CS degree and a bootcamp program. One is vocational, the other almost purely academic. The main difference really is in mathematical training. There’s a wide gulf between the skills needed to succeed in CRUD web development, and the ability to succeed in a four year degree program that requires passing calculus, linear algebra, discrete math, and differential equations. I’d wager greater than 90% of working developers without a CS degree could not pass a test in any of these courses, or even discuss the topics at an intelligible level. If the role you are hiring for requires these skills, you need a CS or other hard engineering grad. The problem is that the vast majority of companies don’t need that, yet somehow feel like they are lowering their standards by accepting that fact.
