While I agree with some of this, my own personal experience supports the fact that you can get started in the industry without bootcamps nor a structured course. Not everyone has the privilege of paying for a structured course by an accredited professor, but everyone has access to online resources. This article isn't a means to deny the use of bootcamps nor courses, but instead encourage those that are attempting to break into the industry, that lack the means to pay for such courses or boot camps, to get started regardless on their own!
