Do you want to learn to program?

You need to know your own learning style, and then compare it to what a bootcamp would offer - would that work for you? Or would you need one on one coaching? Or could you just read tutorials and ask on StackOverflow? Or should you do a course somewhere? It's really a matter of what you know would drive you, personally, and then - if appropriate - finding a reasonable bootcamp and sticking with it.

Also, definitely don't assume that programming is some magic profession with Google-2020 salaries for all and very little output required - even Google isn't like that anymore. It's just a job, so you need to reflect a lot on if it's actually a job you would want to do all day for years.

On the other hand, don't over-analyse - if you decide "yes, I could do that for years" and then change your mind, that's fine too.
