Umm, i’m sorry dude - but this is exactly your end game! and it always has been! I loved my time at codesmith and it absolutely changed my life so maybe i’m biased, but whatever. Point is, Michael Novati literally runs a company that relies upon bootcamp grads feeling insecure.

I think you are reading what you want to read from my more controversial comments. Your entire comment history on Reddit is about Codesmith on Codesmith posts.
I've been here for a year, giving daily helpful advice on all kinds of topics that aren't Codesmith. I've talked to dozens, possibly over 100 people, advising them to go to bootcamps (often Codesmith) based on their situation and goals. I've even advised people to go to competitors to Formation.
Instead, I get Codesmith leadership following my posts, circulating internally, anonymous accounts commenting on my posts, and complaining about me, when they should probably be paying me for helping a bunch of people choose Codesmith who weren't sure about PRIVATELY IN DMs.
I've said many times that we don't have that many direct-from-bootcamp alumni and we actively waitlist many or out right reject, this is not our target demographic and it's not the ideal person to join Formation in general.
You're going to get a lot farther as an engineer if you don't just assume completely unfounded bad intentions from people and then start drawing a bunch of false conclusions built on false assumptions. Why don't you rip apart Fluffy while you're at it for constantly talking about Rithm School!
I'm happy to talk completely transparently about how Formation's business works, and what our goals are that our dozens of partners, hundreds of mentors, dozens of investors, all spent time to figure out before working with and endorsing us.
