Big thread in CSC sub with range of opinions on framing your bootcamp as "experience" on resumes. CSC is a lot angrier than this sub in tone, but I think it's good to read all sides of this. (Link in body)

Good question, this is what I'm talking about discussing sources and quality of information in questioning conclusions so that the overall body of knowledge gets better and better. I can't give more info about the sources without DOXing (which as someone pointed out, is against Reddit ToS and also against my personal ethics), which limits the credibility... like an article based on off-the-record sources only. The information provided was that at some point in time Phil did/does reference calls for people and confirms the information you provide him when giving a heads up that you need a reference call (there is a process for requesting a reference call that I also don't want to go into in case it would DOX people involved). What I don't know is if anyone checks that self-provided information's accuracy or not. I don't have any idea whatsoever what the people say on these calls, and I highly doubt someone would knowingly lie on the calls about employing people when they didn't, and I highly doubt they would say they employed the person even if that's what the student stated in their request. The vast majority of resumes have fine print that these "companies" are incubated by "open source labs" so I highly doubt anyone claims they worked there as employment for a background check (which is different than a resume/linkedin) If anyone at Codesmith wants to add more first-hand information to fill in gaps, that would be great.
