Is this a bootcamp? I don't think you can fail those technical interviews

People definitely fail. Codesmith prides itself in its outcomes and part of that is having a very high bar for entrance to ensure the outcomes remain high.

This is one of the dark secrets of bootcamps. Some basically let anyone in and that means people who they shouldn’t of let in might have a bad experience and don't get a job, which lowers their outcomes on paper. So the bootcamps that are more selective have more success cases and have stronger outcomes on paper. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that the education is better or worse it’s just one factor. At Formation.dev we haven’t published these kind of outcomes because of this (like a staff engineer making $400K TC isn't really relevant for a bootcamp grad who has contracted and aiming to make $150K TC at a solid company, and aggregating these numbers into medians and averages isn't that useful imo). HackReactor is a great example of this where they are owned by a big company and have pressure to hit numbers and their outcomes for qualified people are actually really good and they have a ton of people at top-tier companies a couple years down the road too.

Are you just replying to promote your bootcamp?

No, Formation is not a bootcamp, we have a handful of people with no experience and 80-90% of people have worked for one to many years. That is an example. I've been criticized for not disclosing Formation, if you feel this is promotional, that's good feedback, I guess I can't make everyone happy, but I can try. I edited to give an example of what I mean, it's a little off topic now but 🤷♂️
