Lol, you admit you don't even have contact with your entire cohort but want to post hard numbers like facts while stonewalling productive conversation.

In both directions, Reddit threads don't capture reality.
Like Codesmith is a 11 hour a day crazy intense program (for full time) for 13 weeks and then you graduate and sit there in your room, day in day out, applying to jobs, month 1, month 2, month 3, month 4, month 5, month 6, month 7, month 8, month 9, month 10, month 11, month 12.
Like Month 12 is wildly different from month 6. Full time is wildly different from part time!
The feelings and emotional journey of of people in 2023 is really hard to capture in Reddit comments.
I make an effort to meet with groups of people in person in real life (which is hard because I'm fairly socially anxious), I'm meeting some people in Denver next week.
When you talk to people as humans face to face it's just a really different vibe and story than I what I see on Reddit
In good ways and bad ways, but to me that's "real".
