I think this fits my understanding as well, though I think you could say the same thing about a lot of things e.g. don’t hire an expensive personal trainer when you can just watch YouTube videos and learn to work out on your own. For me, I see benefit from structured learning and accountability. They are expensive, but going back to school for a 1 or 2 year CS masters is way more expensive than a bootcamp in both time and money.
