Wow there is a lot of just like blatantly wrong facts there.
There are a few people who don't like Codesmith and maybe that's them but you should make sure you have evidence of what you are saying because if you don't you are defaming me with facts that are wrong.
1. I have a written statement from the person in that blog post that another prospective Codemsith student told him about Formation, not a team member.
2. 2 year fixation on Codesmith, yes that's true.
3. I mention Codemsith a lot because there are these extremely long threads of back and forth with these anonymous Codesmith people who are mostly suspended from Reddit now. My proactive commentary leans Codesmith but is much broader.
4. I never hired a private investigator or anyone to look into Codesmith. That is weird and not me.
5. I have two main spreadsheets that I created. One for OSP tracking, one for Alumni. I haven't updated the OSP one in a year or so and the other one in a month or so. I had similar spreadsheets for Lambda School. These are perosnal observations. My company sources tons of engineers for outreach separately from all kinds of places, like Apollo, and we search for, amongst other things, bootcamp grads with over 1 year of SWE work experience.
6. What harassment are Codemsith events? What are specific examples. I heard second hand about behaviors you thought was me but wasn't actually me... you might have the wrong person there. I was banned from Codesmith events after making a comment that someone didn't work at the company stated anymore. I don't think that's harassment but if you do, thats your opinion. I have fully respected your ban to the letter of the law.
7. All public Codesmith sessions are recorded no?
I really don't know what to say at this point, I'm concerned someone there is mixing up disgruntled employees and alumni who are actually upset with you with me in some of this stuff.
