By learn much technically what do you mean? Like skills needed to be hirable or the language stack taught? I can see how only using CSX wouldn’t be the best way to learn JS as it’s mostly problem solving and not applying the info I have some more personal questions I’d like y

There is only about 6 or 7 weeks of materials and you spend like 1 to 2 days on major topics that individually take months to become even intermediate in.
You work on projects and get trained in how to communicate in your resume in messaging how to pass recruiting screens.
I pulled up the LinkedIns five people who just released one of their projects called ReacType and all five of them portrayed this project as full-time software engineer work at a Company for 3 months without specifying that it was a open source group project for a bootcamp and that it was 4 weeks of work.
Yeah sure DM me, I talked to a good number of people about bringing out of Codesmith is a good fit or not them.
If you are a good fit for how it actually works under the hood than it is a very, very uniquely good place to go.
If you are not a good fit for how it works under the hood. then you will not be so happy. For example, an alum who just adamantly refuses to exaggerate in any way on their resume. has been really struggling to get a job and it's really demoralizing to see their peers who are inflating their work getting jobs and the person is really not a good place.
The way they market though is really kind of positive and always why they're amazing and why it's the best and that kind of vibe and they don't really explain like the practicalities of how it works. The CEO talks about competencies all the time. and the modern engineer and all of these kind of ideas that are interesting to talk about. but then day-to-day. how do the people get jobs because it's not magic and it's not some special Kool-Aid to drink and you've got the job. it's actually completely different than how it's being portrayed.
And for some people, codesmith is the absolute best. best best choice though and
