Codesmith OSP code review: numerous "unbreak now" security vulnerabilities discovered after spending 5 minutes reviewing an "advanced security tool". Not the mid-level or senior engineering work it is claimed to be.

It's really hard to answer this question. It's just impossible to work on this scope of project in 3 weeks. I would say that having a smaller scope project would LIMIT the potential, and the potential is NOT limited by the scope of the OSP, it's limited by the time. Even if people worked 24 hours a day for two months it wouldn't be enough. [Ada](https://adadevelopersacademy.org/) is a 11 month bootcamp, where everyone spends 6 months learning and then 5 months at a top tier internship with a partner company. It's a non profit with very strong partners like Zillow, Redfin, etc... And IF these people convert full time at the end of a 5 month full time internship, they are hired as entry level engineers. Ada has paused enrollment because of the market and they can't guarantee those internships. What makes Codesmith's 3 week OSP a secret sauce that makes it's alumni not just equal to a five month internship, but "mid level and senior" or "better" than a 5 month internship.
