How many people have you sent to a bootcamp that you likened to a sex cult?

A dozen or two in 1-1 conversations? I didn't liken Codesmith to a sex-cult. I likened the statement that a person made 'go because X changed my life and the lives of many others' to the language used by people about joining cults in general. I stand by that. I would never tell someone to go to Codesmith because "it will change your life". You should have gone (until 2024) if you were extremely ambitious, successful in your previous job, a good communicator, and had a natural affinity to coding.
