Ask HN: Are coding boot camps worth it?

What are your opinions of coding boot camps and do you think one is better than another?

I am thinking about doing one vs. learning on my own. First, if I'm disciplined and focused, do I need one? Will it really help me get a job? If so, which one to choose? They all claim that they're superior to the rest.

Has anyone done a boot camp and how was that for you?
