It was the dumbest shit I’d heard in a while because I avoid this dark corner of codingbootcamp negativity. It took 40min for you to try and talk about yourself and Formation, so well done for the restraint I guess

I haven't made a penny of salary for the past 8 years and i'm not selling anything. I'm pointing out how poorly positioned Codesmith's AI program is and how they need to seriously watch out for growing it through milking alumni - who are paying for something that they were promised for free for life.
I've spoken to a number of companies on the B2B side floated different ideas around. The answer - we want our fleet of 100 ML engineers to teach this internally.
Codesmith's AI program is maintained and lead by someone with I think about 2-3 years of industry experience, ZERO prior to Codesmith, has not done AI professionally.
AND IS DOING IT PART TIME WHILE HE WORKS AT MICROSOFT.
There's no way in heck this program can be good. No way.
I'm telling you I will work 16 hours a day to build a much better AI program applying my experience as the number one code committer at Meta and showing people how to use AI tools to be more productive.
I'm not selling this program but I'm making a point that Codesmith's program is doomed at the start and even if they get some traction it won't have the substance to carry it forward.
I'm not even sure my experience is enough and my point is that it's >>>> Codesmith.
The fundamental problem they have is they spent 10 years building almost ZERO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
They don't have code of value, none of the "engineers" built anything useful for the world. They basically have NOTHING other than their branding and reputation to go off of.
