"I ended up spending waaaay more time than I expected ironing out issues on my team's portfolio template pull request. Even though I came in with a decent amount of Jekyll experience, it was great to learn more." -James

"I had a chance to know another front-end framework, Gatsby and also a chance to refresh my rusty HTML, CSS knowledge while building the Goofy-Goofy Portfolio website." -Myat Thu Ko

"I really enjoyed each and every one of my 1:1 conversations with the other fellows — I particularly love how we span at least 7 countries and 5 time zones! I'm excited to have worked with some of the fellows already during orientation week, and I'm eager to see what we can accomplish together." -William
