Bootcamps are just advertising for the latest and greatest leaky shitty abstraction that won't be supported in 3 years. Advertising that attendees pay for (well, their companies) and they get to use it to expense a vacation.
IMO, you can get an education equal to a coding bootcamp or even better by teaching yourself from books and online tutorials. You also don't have to stop working in order to learn it. Why spend the money when you can get the same thing for free?

Do companies actually pay people to attend these?

I'm not familiar with coding bootcamps, are these online or in person?

Both. Some are in person in a classroom. Some are only online. The better ones are in person.

You don't need to take months off work in order to learn to program. This sounds like just another excuse to tax people to "help the poor".
