App academy but they will all have the same outcome. Please please PLEASE do not do a bootcamp.

I've only seen recent days from Launch School and Codesmith, two other top bootcamps.
Launch School is holding it together with around 70% placement rate for 2023 (down from 90s).
Codesmith only released CA data and those fell off a cliff to 42% in 2023.
The best bootcamps we're ready for a 8.0 earthquake and survived 2023+2024 but some have sever structural damage. Makes them question whether to demolish what's left and possibly rebuild form scratch or keep using the damaged bridges and road, hoping they don't collapse.
Rithm closed shop. App Academy indefinitely paused SWE.
Rigorously question any bootcamp trying to get you to drive across a damaged bridge because you don't want to be on the bridge when it collapses.

What makes you so sure they will *all* have the same outcome? I’m just genuinely wondering.

Btw app academy was the best bootcamp in US. Now it’s all meaningless but if an app academy graduate is struggling this much your school even has 0 chance.

App Academy responsibly paused SWE programs indefinitely.

Absolutely fucking not.

Employers either don't care about boot camp certs (so they don't view

You aren't accounting for bootcamp grads that hide their certs and portray their projects as years of work experience in order to sneak into interviews.
Although I guess anyone can do that without going to a bootcamp.

Totally inappropriate off hand comment about an 8.0 earthquake the day after a real one where 1000s are dying

I was looking out my window at the Bay Bridge in SF/Oakland and how they had to replace half of it after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989\_Loma\_Prieta\_earthquake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake)
My thoughts and wishes are with all people impacted suddenly by natural disasters and that wasn't referring to the recent earthquake in Myanmar.
I apologize to anyone impacted by a natural disaster who was offended by my comment.

Nope. They have SWE on their website now.

It's more complicated. App Academy fell apart, then sold then sold the brand name to Coding Template and now their SWE program is just Coding Temple. The FAQ? Coding Temple. The Application? Coding Temple. The Support? Coding Temple.
Appl Academy is dead and Coding Temple bought their brand. The SWE course you see has NOTHING TO DO WITH PREVIOUS APP ACADEMY.
