BREAKING NEWS: Codesmith 2023 official outcomes published: CANNOT BE WORSE - placement rate crashed from 70% to 29%. Enrollment also tanked over 50%. The software engineering bootcamp era is over.

I dont think this tone is great but it's worse than that. First, the stats were wrong because they only included people who responded to reach out and submitted salary information at first. The "adjusted numbers" included all the people who never responded but appeared to have jobs somewhere on LinkedIn and count as placements who "did not respond" boosting the rate to 42%. But the reason it is worse is because the newest numbers don't make any sense. They published unofficial 12 months numbers but the 2022 numbers are copy paste from the 6 months report so the drop of 2023 12 month from 2022 six months doesn't look as bad. On top of that, they had to check everyone's LinkedIn to count them as a placement so they are fully aware that all those grads are exaggerating and lying about their experience. Finally, I proved they paid someone to post on Reddit - a person who posted bullshit about me and my company and then tried to get me banned by making up more bullshit. The company is falling apart. Almost everyone has left or planning on leaving. The could have followed what all of their peers did and shut down on a good note and instead they are going to shut down in disgrace.
