Capstone specifically. Launch School had announced that they were reducing Capstone from 3 cohorts to 2 this year, but really every fix length full time bootcamp is collapsing because there's just no world where leaving your current job and being unemployed for 3-4 months with the hope of a $100K job at the end makes sense in this climate. Juniors can't get jobs with experience already, mid-levels are having a hard enough time. If you don't have a job and suddenly want to be an engineer - don't. Find ways of learning technical skills you can bring back to your old field instead.
Like it's just nonsensical to do a full time bootcamp right now if you want a job out of it.
CIRR seems defunct, no results for the 2024-25 period and no response to asking them when that will be... they died embarrassingly instead of gracefully and I'm pissed off after all the bravado and marketing spin during the good times that they can't just gracefully shut down with class.
If you just want to learn and have nothing else to do, then maybe, but Launch School's model is based on an ISA and is focused on placements.
Core is another story and might be a better fit for people who want to bring some programming skills to other jobs and fields.
