I went to Codesmith and the folx who had CS degrees got a lot more out of the program than those who didn’t (me). That being said I had a good employment run of 2.5 years including a gig with Microsoft before the current market. I’m really thankful for the experience.

This is a common outcome I hear too, people get jobs but the people who gets jobs at levels above what they should be tend to have a lot of trouble year 2 to 5.
It doesn't discount how much impact Codesmith has on their initial transition and it's not a dis whatsoever, it's just one of the things you don't hear about on Reddit and a downside of the "go for mid level and senior jobs" strategy.
