That study used 400UI of vit E, which is more than 10x the RDA. Mega-dosing is what's dangerous. Good multivitamins use a fraction of that dose.
The BBC article is merely clickbait.. People love to jump on the 'vitamins are actually dangerous' bandwagon. if you do a bit of digging into the studies they're quoting you'll find that their claims are unjustified.
"Mega-dosing is what's dangerous. Good multivitamins use a fraction of that dose."
The problem is that a lot of multivitamins (and supplements in general) have doses which are all over the place, and megadoses are quite common. You'll also find many reviews and testimonials that swear to the efficacy of any given dose of these supplements. On top of that, many doctors recommend that people take "a multivitamin", without any further guidance as to the ingredients or their dosage. Finally, a lot of people don't trust doctors and believe in alternative medicine, naturopathy, or what have you, from which they'll often hear recommendations to megadose because allegedly, the RDA's are set way too low (for a variety of reasons, depending on the supplement).
There's a lot of conflicting medical advice out there, and for the average consumer (who may have a host of medical issues, or suspected issues) it's not always as clear as "just take the RDA".
Start by learning HTML and CSS. Then if you want to learn JS, learn plain JS and learn it well. Forget about frameworks and libraries for now or you'll confuse yourself.
I would have walked out after hearing that. How could a recruiting firm be of any help to you if their goal is to get you to accept a low paying job asap. They'll be fighting with you every step of the way. I would rather search for a job on my own, even if it means eating ramen every day for months.
By the time the bootcamp junior reaches the senior level he/she would have already accumulated 5+ years of experience. That experience surely negates most benefits gained from a degree.
it's not like the bootcamp grad will still only know one specific stack by the time they reach senior. Any CS knowledge initially lacking should be acquired through experience and self-teaching by then..

Sure, but how many people involved in a day-to-day job of (let's say) supporting a Rails application in their spare time read up on (let's say) data structures, algorithm design, operating systems, game design, database management systems or functional programming?
In an ideal world everyone does this, in reality I found that professional experience is more conducive to growing as a specialist vs growing as a generalist - conversations with coworkers, dealing with bug reports, browsing StackOverflow and attending conferences are all centered around getting deeper, not broader.
I would say thats a fair criticism of any programmer though. Unless you are using data structures and algorithm design (etc.) on a relatively frequent basis at work, you aren't going to remember much of your CS degree 3-4 years down the road.
