CIRR website went offline on April 5th, 2025. 2023 results never published. Very sad to see it end like this instead of wrapping up with a goodbye, but it's another sign that the current bootcamp era (12 weeks to a $100K job) is over, and the start of a new one is beginning.

Can you clarify what you meant by "the start of a new one (era) is beginning"? You mean a new era of bootcamps, or an era where they don't exist? I noticed you are also now mod of an aibootcamp sub, are ai bootcamps the new era in your view?

I don't know what it is but I posted about the 3-4 eras of bootcamps: 1. first wave of super ambitious smart people, 2. wave of DEI, 3. COVID, 4. collapse. It's possible bootcamps go away yeah and there is no new era. There are AI programs popping up in their place so it's a possible path. I been taking to bootcamps about AI and I expect that to be the only path for many to survive so I could see it happening, but I'm not sure. I'm the mod of that sub yeah but no one uses it so I'm not sure how popular AI bootcamps are yet haha.
