I have a perspective that it takes the amount of work necessary. So let’s say in 2022 peak hiring it took 50 job apps to land a SWE role, awesome. Let’s say now it takes 500, then people need to send out 500 (made up numbers as an example obviously). Yes, it is objectively harder

Codesmith grads are getting jobs, from the data they share publicly, the people getting placed tend to have adjacent experience prior or they exaggerate their resume or they list their contractor work as a fellow as like 8 months of Software Engineer experience.
And Codemsith has almost no code, it's mostly the website that people work on, like junior web developer work. So it's just not enough to get by right now.
