Anyone have any updates from CIRR and their new standards for 2022 full year outcomes? All the "official standards documents" on their website are "owned" by Codesmith's former product manager (!?!), not someone at CIRR, and haven't been updated in a long time.

Anyone have any updates from CIRR and their new standards for 2022 full year outcomes? All the "official standards documents" on their website are "owned" by Codesmith's former product manager (!?!), not someone at CIRR, and haven't been updated in a long time. Hi all, I'm hitting the slopes skiing in Japan and what else would I be doing but checking up on CIRR's website because we're all awaiting new updates any day now! However, I'm more concerned than ever that it's kind of falling apart :( 1. All previous data seemed to have disappeared, so there are no past reports to look at, zero data on the site. After the site changed ownership and hosting behind the scenes, I'm concerned they lost access to the previous data and it's gone :(. I would love any evidence anyone has if this is correct or not, just a theory because I can't imagine why they would delete all the old data. 2. I noticed that the standard docs linked to there are Google Drive links from **a former Codesmith Product Manager's personal Google Drive.** It seems suspicious that a Codesmith employee, not the person on the Codesmith employee board of CIRR, but a product manager, is hosting CIRR's OFFICIAL STANDARDS. I'm not going to DOX the person but I have collected screenshots and records and you can do the same by viewing the ownership details of the PDFs on their site. 3. The Executive Director took a job as a COO of a think tank a month ago. They did a great Q&A here months prior to that but now I'm not sure how much effort they have to run CIRR. 4. We should have been expecting results from H1 2023 any day HOWEVER due to an unpublished change in the spec, we haven't even seen H2 2022 results yet. Those would have been expected 6 months ago, but CIRR changed the rules to report 12 month post-grad placement numbers instead of 6 months, and told us to wait another 6 months. 5. It's now time when those new 12 month results should come out but I can't find the standard anywhere that these new results will be governed by. If the results just get released spontaneously, we need time to evaluate the new standard... that's the whole point of being CIRR and being open and transparent. Anyways, let me know your thoughts. It's a hard market and I don't want to rub salt in a wound if that's the case, I'm just telling y'all how I see it and would love nothing more than if bootcamps were flourishing right now. At the end of the day though, for those of you considering bootcamps - there are success stories, but you should be patient and do your research to find the right one for you - if any. ​
