Codesmith marketing campaign: "you’re not late to tech". Unfortunately you likely are, and this kind of thing is tone deaf and misleading. Instead of making changes in their program structure they are marketing a 10 year old program structure as if it still works and please don't fall for it.

I would argue if we froze LLMs as they are today, using Claude 4 Opus/GTP o3/Gemini 2.5Pro I would be 2X more productive based on my person stats over the last few months. That alone will change the industry and destroy the junior engineer market (other than top 10 CS grads who companies deem worthy of investing in) and destroy bootcamps. If we go beyond that depends on model and tooling improvements. From what I hear from my close friends at Anthropic and OpenAI, there's more room to grow here.
