What's exactly on their curriculum? I looked at what was on the site and it seemed to cover really basic things.

Their curriculum is no different than anyone else. and it's almost always criticized as one of the weaknesses. But It's actually somewhat intentional from what their CEO says publicly and there's a reason for it. The bar to get in is so high that people will generally have decent technical skills coming in and they actually have to work on the rest of their non-coding skills. so they're really focused on trying to get you to overcome imposter syndrome and communicate on a team and the language to use to describe engineering work and building open source projects to build your resume and those kinds of things. and I think that they do all of this in a very unique way. not necessarily unique good but just unique.
