What “octernship” means: https://education.github.com/students/octernships

Basically a GitHub built a platform for students to get paid to do contract projects with mentorship attached. I think it’s interesting.

I read most of the way down the post waiting for any sort of explanation of what an “octernship” is, but the post mostly just says the word a lot and sings praises. In fairness it links to the explanation page, but I would hope a launch post has even the barest of short introductions of the platform.
