someone in the latest capstone cohort got a job in less than a month after completing the program. I hear ~50% have offers in the cohort before that, and ~65% for the cohort before that. that covers just about the past 12 months. not one of them with a CS degree. I agree that "

I don't say no one, but I do say that it's not systematic anymore - every placement feels like a one off case. Launch School Capstone is small enough that historically each person was a one off case and it never relied on patterns.
Larger programs had hiring partners and common places where alumni pass down back channel referrals and cover up the fact that all the people have zero experience and then help the people ramp up. For example Codesmith -> Capital One is this.... people scheming to lie on resumes and get through interviews and then help each other not get fired after starting.
