What did you work on this summer? All sorts of things! Frontend, backend, middleware… One of the most visible projects was updating the blog to be responsive and match the look and feel of the rest of the site. (I’m sure you all noticed the changes!) I also worked on the script to automatically deploy the blog, and an open source spell-checker gem. Most recently Allison and I created a fun rails app lets you find your celebrity twin!
Best Spokeo Moment? Playing human foosball at the picnic. I had no idea how it was going to work at first, but it was so much fun!
Do you have any advice for next year’s interns? Ask questions! Don’t let yourself get stuck. Yeah, you might be able to find an answer after an hour of googling, but you can figure it out way faster by asking someone who already knows, and you get to know your team better!
