Single mom sues coding boot camp over job placement rates

Isn't the actual material covered in these camps secondary? What people want is a certificate to put on their resume and some help with networking/placement. I mean I also think these programs are just as ripe for shady dealings as places like ITT Tech, but that's why people are paying into them.

Everyone still has to jump through the Leetcode/whiteboard/design hoops to get in the door. My impression from working with bootcamp grads is that they are well-prepared for this trial, better than CS grads. The bootcamps don't teach them any theory that will "never" be used on the job.

While true they still need a certification to put on a resume to get past recruiters. It's fine to think they shouldn't but IRL they probably do.
