Totally valid but just feel like I have to throw in that I went to a bootcamp, was very suspicious from the earliest stages of consideration but found on the other side that all the friends I made there who attended-even the one that failed out and went to another bootcamp-went from part time jobs making less than 30k a year to legit software engineering positions making 60~120k in less than a year. Im still surprised that the whole thing wasn't a scam. That said it was the most competitive and highest ranked bootcamp then and now in terms of job placement, not sure how places like lambda differ...

You're allowed to say who it is - in fact, I think you should say who it is, reward quality and hard work!

Also, you might mention who does the ranking (possibly more important).

Naming them substantially decreases the credibility of the post, and increases the probability of it being an ad. Better not to name them.
