I personally did not, but some of my cohort mates have put CodeSmith on their resume and have gotten some positive feedback. Ultimately, it's up to you, and it's very possible to just create two resumes and see which one gets your more inbounds or not.

A lot of top tier entry level recruiters are familiar with Codesmith's OSPs as well and they just read it as bootcamp grads. I work with a bunch of FAANG recruiters and it's not the greatest reputation wise because they perceive this as deceitful, fall for it once, and then warn all the others to watch out for it. I think excluding it for smaller and more remote companies out side of Silicon Valley would work very well. So +1 to having two resumes. Don't hide anything with top tier companies, much better off being yourself and telling your story.... Codesmith is very intense and it's more impressive you went through it than the 4 weeks you spent on your OSP.
