To be fair, I dropped out of a Masters program from a major state university when I realized that campus had a curriculum mostly taught by instructors without industry experience that were alumni. Weak education programs are a risk everywhere, not just bootcamps.

+1. I know my main college classes were taught by legit professors but a lot of tutorials and stuff were TAs who were PhD students.
I think the difference is that at Codesmith even the lead instructors went to Codesmith and haven't been SWEs yet.
I mean alumni who are working in industry to the career support stuff. They just aren't super super senior engineers who have had strong trajectories and track records hiring and helping people grow, so their words are taken disproportionately.
Someone I know closely was told to "practice their buzzwords" by one of the mock interviewers.
