What about formal agreements between Steve Jobs, Sergey Brin, and Larry Page? Documented, litigated, proved in court. http://fortune.com/2015/09/03/koh-anti-poach-order/

your assertion that a few weeks of coding bootcamp can land a good job is highly suspect. I can assert that I know of community college graduates who are teaching at MIT. My assertion holds as much water as yours!

What about it? That certainly happened, but like you said, it was documented, litigated, and the offending parties paid big fines.

Where is the rest of the market collusion keeping wages down?

There are some numbers out there. Here's one: https://www.switchup.org/rankings/coding-bootcamp-survey

Half of bootcamp attendees had less than 50 hours of experience. On average bootcamp alumni saw a $20k salary increase in their first job after completing the bootcamp.

So now your assertion holds less water than mine.
