DEVELOPING: Codesmith 2024 California Government Outcomes report is out today. Only 12% are placed within 6 months with reported salary (50% including 'no salary information available') but press release also out today says '85% to 90% placement rate within 12 months' 'CIRR verified' (no time frame)

Facts and accountability are foundational. You can troll all you want, but facts are the facts and your assumptions about my intentions are not facts. The press release I quoted says that "Federal selection followed rigorous evaluation of Codesmith's independently verified outcomes: 85-90% of graduates placed within 12 months, two-thirds promoted within three years, and an average starting salary of $130,000. Unlike competitors, Codesmith relies entirely on word-of-mouth referrals rather than advertising, with all outcomes verified by the Council on Integrity in Results Reporting." Website: "Codesmith has proven this thesis true with 5000+ alumni. 90% of graduates get hired within 12 months, most land leadership roles within big tech & AI labs and many directly contribute to the world’s largest open source projects" **There is nothing at CIRR that says that 85 to 90% of the 5000 graduates got jobs in 12 months. And there is nothing in CIRR that is an "average salary", only median salaries and the latest one is $110,000.** The official reports that Codesmith itself have published prove that that is not the case. If you publish a press release without sources, without qualifiers, and the data can't be verified, that needs to be identified and it's a very serious thing to sort out.
