New grads also all have the exact same resume as well. I'd go through OCR and interview 16 carbon-copy resumes every day.

I'm not convinced that bootcamp grads are particularly worse at CS fundamentals than many college grads. If you care, you'll put in the time to learn using the infinite amount of free classes and resources out there. If you don't, being forced to take the minimum number of core classes and get passing grades in them doesn't change much about how you think and approach problems.

Exactly. But a lot of bootcamps out there are advertised more as a get-rich-quick scheme than learning a career. That seems to attract the wrong types of candidates.

But I agree, passing grades from mediocre schools is absolutely not a good filter.
