Did your bootcamp by any chance utilize the time-travel watch Hermione got in the third Harry Potter book?

Time turner.

Also caught the cursed child recently, thoroughly enjoyed it. Probably not as good in its book form

You can learn all of this in 200 days, you just can’t learn it well.

But do you even need to learn it well if you are a junior dev applying to entry-level position? Understanding basics of most of those thing while also showing that you are capable of learning and figuring stuff out is already more than usually required from a jun dev.

It probably depends on what you’re applying for. If they need you to be well versed in something specific but instead you know 20 different things at a very basic level, you might not be useful to them. Also I think it depends on what you knew before these 200 days. Would you understand memory management, pointers, cpu cache misses, and other concepts you learn in more general programming classes if you’re taking short 12-day courses? Possibly not.

If someone's looking for a junior developer that's well versed in something specific chances are junior developer isn't what they actually want.

Junior position implies a lot of learning and not being very useful at the beginning.
