All Onboard: Cruising on the Mentorship
summary
The video documents two high school juniors, Paul and Sarina, joining Vitals for a six-week internship where a five-week window and two interns constrain outcomes; they use project-based mentorship and backwards planning to build a HipChat bot script for Dradis in CoffeeScript that queries APIs and maps feature flags across client environments. The project finishes on the last day (code pushed at 5:03), handles noisy errors, returns an alphabetized list, and leads both interns toward CS degrees.
