Interesting story, but one really stuck out to me was that people were paying thousands in tuition to go to a bootcamp that was apparently run via Slack (which is how the founder managed to disappear so suddenly, as he lived in Mexico). That's a crazy sign to me of how high the demand is; I had only known of bootcamps that had actual physical classrooms and meetings.

How do you convince yourself to spend that much money online?
"The online school says it will apply half of whatever any Devschool student paid in tuition toward Thinkful's web development bootcamp."
With all due respect Thinkful that is not very appealing either: https://www.thinkful.com/pricing/
