One could say that bootcamps were the first to pave the software development track.



Hardly... applied programming education has been alive and well in community colleges (and some higher ed. institutions) for decades. Not every program, everywhere, is theory-heavy!


Bootcamps tend to be at the other end of the spectrum. In my experience they often produce developers that have a solid understanding of specific technologies, but have a harder time solving more general problems and/or moving up and down the tech stack.

I believe that what we need is something in the middle - a solid CS education combined not with in-depth dives into specific technologies, but with a wide range of samples of solid engineering in various real world projects.
