If the high salaries for developers were due to a training-insufficiency-based shortage of qualified devs, the natural market for training programs would be hiring firms, not would-be devs.
The reason the market is would-be devs is because, insofar as there is a shortage, its a talent-and-inclination-based shortage, but you can sell it to would-be devs as a training-based shortage that they are taking advantage of by buying into your program.

Then why does anyone need you?

Where does this quantification come from?
You should really work on your language skills as a founder, it does not reflect so well on you (and Coding House) if you can't even spell properly when you're trying to defend your creation.
A huge shortage of devs, and yet somehow their wages remain suspiciously flat:

Wrong.
- Maybe the bottom 20% should go and that is natural selection.
- The is a huge shortage of devs.
- Most colleges are not doing a good job creating dev's (their are about 100 who do).
- You can learn everything we teach on your own for free (near free).
- btw Plursight is great if you are a JR Dev not if you don't know shit.
- Boot camps expedite the process by 4x to 12x the amount of time it would take.
- You will not become an expert or an intermediate dev at any boot camp. You will still be green.
- In a boot camp you will learn between 2-4% of what you need to know about coding.
- You will earn the rest over 20-30 years.
- Thus we focus on teaching people how to be self relent. So the can pick up a new language, framework, how to FIX bugs, TDD, merging, working in groups. The process that one can apply to most anything they need to do down the road.
