Graduated around the end of 2022. 10% (3-4) of the cohort had worked either independently in software development or in some adjacent role.

You hit the worst timing luck for sure :(. You joined Codesmith when people were still getting Amazon and C1 offers, you graduated right when the tides turned. Then you job hunt and get the suggested '5 or 6 interviews just for practice to get warmed up' out of the way in Jan/Feb when hiring picked up a tad, and then did real job hunting during the worst time period. Then by the time hiring picks up for real - people are demoralized and jaded.
