I'm a codesmith alumni chiming in to say I understand OP not wanting to give specifics while in the program. CS promotes an extremely positive culture and takes protecting their brand very seriously. Any negative discussion about the program amongst the cohort is frowned upon and

Hi, can you confirm that the number for a reference on an OSP is actually a Codesmith phone number? My understanding is since June of last year, OS Labs Inc was forked as is an independent official charity that can't have conflicts of interest with Codesmith and must be run entirely separate by independent board members. The letters of reference I've seen are signed by Philip Troutman, Board Member of OS Labs and don't say Codesmith anywhere on them.
