I went through Hack Reactor. It's not a CS degree, but I work next to people having one. I don't think they're necessarily better at their job.
"The CS degree for the 21st century" can mean anything. It's just marketing bullshit. That being said, judging startups (and IMO Hack Reactor is essentially a startup) based on their marketing would mean that 90% of startups are - what you call - "dishonest".
I enjoyed HR, I'm valuable for the company I'm working for, I maintain a couple of successful Open Source projects (~ 500 stars each) in Go, JavaScript and Haskell.
Without being too arrogant, most CS graduates can barely code. And realistically that's what most of us either do or should do all day long.
