I really don't think the 8-12 week code camp means you are a truly competent developer. Sure you can hack around on x or y js framework of the month. But data structures, algos, big O...all of that comes into play at some point as a software engineer. You don't use it every day, or even every week. But it does happen.

And tbh, you can really tell the quality of candidate of code camp vs 4 year degree. We hired a code camp candidate, just to see how it played out. It didn't work that well.
