I really think the formation promotion in this sub should be banned. If it’s not a bootcamp why advertise so heavily here?

Just FYI and for anyone else reading this, we are working on publishing more numbers so we have been crunching different stats, and around 7% of people have 0 experience (no bootcamp or no CS degree), and 70%+ have at least 1 year of professional full time SWE work experience already. We are friendly with most bootcamps and some Fellows teaching at their former bootcamps (not just Codesmith, but several). We have friendly chats with bootcamp founders about collaborations.
We also work with people for an indefinite amount of time, adjusting people's work week to week, people can pause, resume, ramp up or ramp down. A bootcamp is short, intensive, structured and that is not what Formation is at all.
So yeah, not a bootcamp and not trying to advertise to people who want to go to them.
