There are a few programs that I’ve been looking into and Codesmtih looks to be in my top options right now mainly bc of their part-time 9 month program. Do you have insight on what the main difference between the full time vs part time? I’ve attended a few of their workshops an

The part time is the same but stretched out over longer time and at a slower pace. It's broken into 3 phases instead of 2.
The workshops tend to be a bit higher quality than the actual teaching but similar style.
The instructors at Codemsith almost all have only worked at Codesmith and the content and lectures are fairly rigid. So they have very good consistency as a result which is very predictable.
The downsides are they are limited by lack of experience and often can't give more context on why things are the way they are. So you hear "trust the system" a lot and "Codemsith put a lot of thought into this and know what they are doing" versus like confident answers.
Not a bash on the people's potential and abilities just lack of experience.
