# ⚠️ SCAMMER ALERT This thread is full of Codesmith planted questions that are not disclosed. Including someone who did their own Codesmith AMA yesterday. Stay safe everyone and don't give your money to these kinds of scams.

Thank you for the answer and I can imagine that is quite daunting when you are learning to create something on a deadline. Any resources you recommend for someone who might be interesting in dabbling in that world a little?

Scam comment from a salesperson that's teeing up the OP to recommend free materials from their mutual bootcamp. This person also went to the same bootcamp and did their own AMA yesterday. Everyone reading this: don't fall for this bullshit and shut it down.

What’s been the most challenging part about the program?

This commenter works at Codesmith on their marketing team as a content creator and didn't disclose any biases. Thread full of placed comments, don't fall for this scam people! Go to their bootcamp for the right reasons but don't be fooled by this fake Reddit activity.

> Go to their bootcamp for the right reasons but don't be fooled by this fake Reddit activity that's coordinated to appear 'organic'. There are no "right reasons"

I'm trying to be fair and I'm sure there is one person the program is for. I'm focusing my critique on the sketchy marketing tactics all these recent grads - turned employees/alumni are doing. I was just talking to a grad tonight as I often do and had the same old consistent message. Some day when they these people get a job in the industry, they will see the truth and my door is always open... you all can join the long list of people who changed their mind when they saw how things really area.
