This seems to be the huge differentiator.
I've had really good experiences with boot camp grads who had a previous technical career or came from a STEM phd. Camps are great for getting already well-educated people up to speed on how to hack together a website, which is an enormous value add to an existing skill set.

Absolutely, familiarity with troubleshooting, how layers of technology interact, dealing with new tech regularly, working with technical teams is a big leg up.
