Every week is a sprint: learn / build / ship.
Monday you learn it. By Wednesday you're building with it. Friday you ship it and defend your choices in code review. Pick a week to see the actual board.

Four working engineers, one per eight students. They wrote the material they teach, and they review your pull requests like they'd review a teammate's.
Yusuf Karim @ykarim
Backend & infrastructure. Ran the on-call rotation for a 40M-request API. Sleeps fine now.
Lena Vogel @lenabuilds
JavaScript & testing. Believes a failing test is the most honest documentation there is.
Marcos Ribeiro @mribeiro
Career engineering. Turns your capstone into interview stories and your git log into a resume.
