A Message From The Codesmith Team To This Community

Codesmith's new model is bullshit. They added 5 Generative AI lectures and are calling themselves an AI immersive. It's unclear if the content is even done yet or just in progress, with the people currently working on it having no AI experience in real life. There is no "modern engineer". It's a fabricated story in the CEO's head that he's setting up and using alumni to +1 like zombies. The "modern engineer" is a privileged Oxford/Harvard grad's idea for making the word a better place. Good idea, but it's not what the market wants right now. If he wants to change the world, he needs to give the market what it wants along the way to get there. Right now he's acting like a con artist, dressing up sly foxes like prized sheepdogs. Telling graduates with 3 weeks of OSP to list that on their resume as 2 to 4 years of "functional experience" because companies don't check (Recent alumni were told this directly from staff member). The sly fox is smart and hard working but it's not the prized sheepdog companies want. It's a privilege to do work with impact, not a right someone gets for going to Oxford and Harvard and having an unfounded idea that their fellow privileged friends believe will change the world. Codesmith is incapable of giving the market what it's asking for at this time. They are betting the company on this unproven idea of the "modern engineer" and want you all to be an experiment that will hopefully work in the future. And maybe it will work in a year, two years, three years, but that's not what someone should be paying $22K for. Codesmith isn't a cult membership, it's a school that is supposed to prepare you for a job NOW. It's reckless, irresponsible and wrong. Personal opinion.
