CodeSmith is a Sinking Ship - Get a refund

So wouldn’t you say ‘if you wanted x instructors in particular’ you should get a refund? Why does a particular layoff matter?

Two sides to this: 1. Codesmith instruction is really consistent - not 100% - but the instructor matters less. PTRI had thrash with their lead leaving last summer and it was eventually fine for the residents. 2. That said, if too much changes overnight, that's a concerning sign, because Codesmith is a MACHINE and a lot of parts are being swapped around and replaced at once. You paid for one machine and it's turning into a different one, and it's not clear what the new one is. I wouldn't flip a table, but I would be on alert.
