how long do you think will it last, with current popularity of learning to code, coding bootcamps, MOOC etc.?

Long. Bad programmers are a dime a dozen, good programmers are rare because to be one requires both high IQ and a a particular way of thinking.

Teaching idiots how to code isn't going to help.
