Coding bootcamp graduate here. 90% employment rate is true, if you consider people will get jobs some time after the bootcamp. I saw couple of people get hired as in-house instructors, but aside from that I have no idea how well my cohort did. People who do find jobs soon after the bootcamp were mostly people with desirable skillsets whom only needed coding experience, or some were programming prodigies.
Biggest benefit bootcamps offer is the networking opportunity. Students encourage and compete each other to be better, while offering helpful perspectives. On a realistic note, they also boost your LinkedIn views and skill endorsements.
Two biggest factors are time and money. Do you need to attain certain level of skill right away? Can you spare the ridiculously high tuition fee or afford a loan for it?
If yes to both, go for it.
My friends recommend an undergraduate degree coupled with certifications. Personally I think self-learning coupled with open source projects/internship is the best.

Programming is not ALL about intelligence or perfection.
