Interesting, like no bar at all!? Yeah people should consider that almost like a different program/school then and not think they are getting the traditional Hack Reactor program.
If there's no bar at all, it's actually proving my point even more about the entry bar mattering. There are going to be a lot of unhappy people about this program who won't get jobs but expected them because of the 12 week program's reputation.
My other common argument on this is that people should be paying for the education experience and not the job and judging by that. The two can get mixed up in reviews as "not getting a job" can make people look cynically at the educational experience. A CS degree isn't cheap either and isn't perfect, so the expectation shouldn't be perfection, but people should have some idea of the day to day education they expected and if the program met that or not, regardless of getting a job.
