How about let's start with the question he asked, "What bootcamps to recommend?" As you can see from the comments, the only school that is recommended is Launch School. Are there any schools that anyone recommends? The answer is nobody recommends any bootcamps on here, even thou

there isn't any universally recommended boot camp and there never was for me personally at least.
I used to recommend three rithm, codesmith and launch school.
Rithm closed. but it's the program I recommended most broadly because it was pretty well-rounded for most people.
Launch School still doing okay, A cohort cut back but generally they have the resources to keep making improvements. They have a different philosophy, their website talks about being this low way to career change and if you're the right person then it remains the best place for that fit.
Codesmith is like falling apart with like hardly any staff left complaints of disorganization. they just advertised for one of their projects on their LinkedIn page and the sign up is completely broken and I can't even try it out and when I point that out they delete my comment instead of actually fixing the problem. it's like falling into the garbage territory and I can't remotely recommend it anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of the current students get refunds and leave and it shuts down based on what I'm hearing from people about the state right now.
Breaks my heart because I sent a good number of people to Codesmith and I was hoping that they would take some of my feedback to improve and get better and have a positive reinforcement cycle and instead it's just imploded.
