Glad you're working on this!

I'm an experienced developer from a more traditional background - do you ever foresee the internship serving as a _mutual_ vetting process? I'd love to be able to experience a company from the inside before jumping from candidate to full-time employee.

I do think there is huge value in internship/ trial employment at all levels. We've personally hired a senior engineer this way-- she was working full-time and trialed with us for a few hours a week so she could get a better sense of our environment and team, while we could also assess her skills and fit. It worked out great, and hope more employers/candidates can view this process as a mutually beneficial vetting process.
