Do you mean 10% who actually say they had positive experiences at codesmith? My experience is that 90% of people who are active or that are in zoom meetings (stand-ups, group, study, prep groups etc) defend codesmith and make it an environment that you feel afraid to criticize

10% fight publicly for it, work there, keep in the community, keep doing talks and calls, etc... and "stay in the family"
Many more are positive or neutral-positive about Codesmith, thought it was worth it because of their outcome but not the content or the advice and they move on after settling into their careers.
I'm also bias there because the people that move on come to be too lol. The largest groups of people coming to me on a weekly basis are current students or recent alumni venting about something, and then older alumni who trust me because they feel like my analysis is spot on and want my advice about the industry.
