For me, (i*t's less expensive - yes*) - but it's just as dishonest as CodeSmith / if not much more. 3k for some people is more than 30k for other people. It could easily cost you 30k in momentum and opportunity cost long-term. It's basically a 10 year old Udemy course with planne

Well I wouldn't assume it's doing that well business-wise, I don't think any bootcamp is doing well right.
The thing Nucamp has done very well, leveraging Ludo's strengths from Microsoft experience, is making connections with partners and governments to pay for aspects of the program.
But yeah for some reasons I always felt like Nucamp was advertised as Udemy + live mentors, rather than a legit pathway to a job, but I might be wrong.
Codesmith advertises itself as an 'outcomes of an elite graduate program for 1/10th the cost'.
Springboard is where I would be upset with because they license all their content, which is like Colt Steele's Udemy course + Rithm's original curriculum + mentors but charge like 2-3X Nucamp.
