what is an example of a well-regarded bootcamp program?

So there are a number of bootcamps well regarded: Codesmith, Rithm, Launch School, are a few I know. The problem is one thing: **you have to know HOW THEY WORK and which is the RIGHT ONE FOR YOU.** I know a number of people going into Codesmith who know what they are in for and know all the OPs points and that's what they want to do, and they get good jobs. Codesmith is NOT the program for a random person finding this subreddit and seeing $120K and πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’° sign me up type mentality. While that's a bit of hyperbole, it's also not for people who are woo'd by the feel-good and welcoming aspect of the staff they work with pre-acceptance who don't really know how this thing works but have "good vibes". You need to know how it works regardless of how much you like the people.
