I think Lambda is an unusually bad bootcamp owing to their financialization strategy and also lack of prior educational experience in their leadership. I think there are good bootcamps, but the well is being poisoned a bit here.
Wouldn't Caleb Hicks, one of their founders, qualify as having education experience? https://www.linkedin.com/in/calebhicks/ -- I mean, it looks mostly like biz/corporate education stuff, and dev training experience seems to be narrowly focused but I guess it's not nothing.
