I'm curious how sustainable these schools are in the long term. It seems like there is a limit to how many entry-level devs in a given language and framework you can pump into the local market before it becomes saturated. I suppose you can cycle through technology stacks and hope the market has soaked up enough devs before the next class comes around, but it seems like there is a limit to how big the schools can grow. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out with many of these schools getting pumped full of venture funding.

i think the elephant in the room is that you can't just graduate one of these coding schools and compete with someone who has been coding for X more years than you have.

The expected competition, I believe, is to be competing against BA/BSc Comp Psi grads with 12 weeks of learning.

With that in mind I think they hold up pretty well.
