Yeah you know I respect your path too and good luck! I think things have really changed with the alumni graduating now and late 2023 that talk to me. I think the layoffs in Q3/Q4 really hit a lot of people hard. Some loyal instructors were let go, a bunch of career support people left too, so there apparently are fewer people to talk to, instructors have an eye on backup plans. I know I annoy them by expressing my views on all this so openly because I get the vibe Codesmith does NOT want to talk about this stuff. Our debates 2 years ago are tame compared to the stuff I'm getting now 😞
