Honestly I can’t believe Michael Novati is a moderator on this subreddit. It seems like an enormous conflict of interest. Basically I think nobody who offers CS instruction/tutoring/mentorship should be a moderator.

Why do you think it's a conflict of interest? Codesmith's unhinged post is libelous as I have officially informed their leadership about this in the past and have the records to prove it and they decided to intentionally lie to mislead the public. I have always made it extraordinarily clear my commentary is my personal opinion and nothing to do with my company. I stated that there are a handful of unique edge case people that could go to either Formation or Codesmith but that our records show it's a very small number and not our target demographic. They decide to lie anyways with zero evidence presented to support their claim. An institution that behaves like this is rotten at the core and won't survive, just don't get caught up in it.
