The Mythical Creatures of Summer of Code
summary
Team Tessie shows Rails Girls Summer of Code turning strangers from biology, teaching and fashion into active open source contributors who stay in the ecosystem. Practical details include building a Slack bot that recognizes hex colors and debugging a persistent /giphy quirk, learning JavaScript and git (including a memorable first rebase disaster that gets recovered), using Codecademy and Angular, creating starter issues promoted via yourfirstpr, and getting a real GitHub hoodie page.
