I considered several options, including HackReactor and TechElevator. I settled on Codesmith because they had the best outcomes posted at the time, and the most strict requirements for getting into the program. I also really liked how their program had a focus on computer science

Thanks for sharing, out of curiosity, what makes you think they teach computer science fundamentals? I'm curious if that's something they told you, like just your opinion, or if it's something new.
When I reviewed Codesmith's entire classroom materials I don't believe they teach any "computer science fundamentals". They have a few lectures on DS&A that were like lecture 1 of CS 101 for me in college (and I took 24 more course with 12 to 36 lectures each), and they assign daily coding problems, but they don't actually teach any of those problems under the hood.
I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm just curious because I keep a super close eye on Codesmith and wanted to know where that comes from.
Congratulations on getting a job, that's super exciting!
