The way they admit students, I honestly believe they will end up in great places regardless of whether they attend a bootcamp Or not

I think there is a lot of value in this model for people that are already strong to make them better, so it's not a waste for these people but it might limit the ultimate breadth of skill levels of people Codesmith can support long term, which might be totally fine. They are expanding to machine learning so if they can just cherry pick the best people in more and more disciplines that can scale too... it just changes the goal from "I want to get into Codemith so they can develop my skills to be successful" to "I want to get into Codemith because it validates I have the traits needed to be successful based on similar people". Both can work.
