Codesmith School Performance Fact Sheet Substantially Different from CIRR Outcomes?

I think Launch School Capstone by itself is the only thing you can compare to a bootcamp head to head. The actual "capstone" projects blow Codesmith OSPs out of the water. I think they are what the Codesmith OSPs aspire to be. A big difference is the documentation... Launch School Capstone projects are documented like open source projects SHOULD be. They are fantastic though in part because of such tiny cohort size that has been growing, so will keep an eye on the next waves of them. And they also want you to do Core first, so it's hard to recommend to someone who is already chosen Codesmith. You should probably be choosing Launch School Core before you even start CSX months ago if you want to do Capstone. Launch School Core is pretty hard to compare to anything. It's maybe more comparable to Nu Camp. Both are fairly async. Nu Camp also doesn't have outcomes because self-service, lower cost platforms have much higher drop off rates than bootcamps and people do it for a wider range of reasons than just trying to get a job. So it's pretty hard to look at numbers.
