We're commenting on an article about a coding camp founded by a professional TED talker who's now in law school.
The "they" pitching bootcamps and the "they" automating jobs away are two different "theys".
People who have been doing software for the last 20 years have always been saying "coding is hard" and "a few months in a coding bootcamp isn't sufficient preparation for a career in tech, especially when the winds of the market shift".
But no one wants to hear "high-paying jobs require spending years getting good at doing hard things".
