I did a fair amt of work in Odin proj and it helped me a ton so far (I'm a current resident). Most people entering had little to minimal experience ever making a website or using an ide. Having some experience made it much more palatable. I got up to finishing the fundamentals.

Hey, you mentioned "most people entering had little to minimal experience ever making a website or using an ide" I was under the impression that "a third" of Codesmith students have past experience, a CS degree, or relevant tangential experience, as Philip Troutman said in a video on Course Report's YouTube channel. Would you agree with the rough "a third"? If I had work experience and was working alongside people who had never used an IDE, that doesn't seem like the right fit.
