Interesting. Honestly for some reason I would want to put it on resume cause I feel like graduating codesmith would be a huge accomplishment for me.

It's a controversial point but they do officially suggest to exclude it. The reasons they tell you are that: 'you did Codesmith and it's an elite school so you don't want to disadvantage yourself by coming across like a bootcamp grad. you have done projects that are at a mid or senior level and you want to be recognized for your accomplishments so you should emphasize those' I don't agree with this reasoning but that's what they tell people. EDIT: Want to clarify a few things because saying "officially" might be misleading 1. The official documentation doesn't tell you to exclude it but tells you to include it as experience and doesn't tell you to include the word Codesmith in describing that. 2. People are told the above not in writing but have reported being told it verbally during a standard resume lecture
