You are being downvoted I suspect because people are assuming you mean it's not possible to learn to code in 2 years, when what I suspect you mean is "why waste resources on poorly planned school curriculum regardless of timing when other options (such as the apprentice model) are available"

Yes exactly. I learned tons in college. Still not enough to make my own crud app.

In that way, bootcamps do a better job. If we are doing a 2 year turbo degree, they could learn a lot from boot camps.

So, after you finished your degree and started trying to learn to make a CRUD app, how long did it take you to be able to make such an app and reason intelligently about its behavior?

How long would it have taken you if you had not done that degree first?
