I spent this summer programming for the New York Times. The experience was valuable in quite a number of ways, and I really enjoyed myself. Here’s how it went down.
Sometime in March, I saw a post on the Times’ Open Blog, a blog dedicated to technical topics, and written by developers - not suits. The post I noticed explained how the development group in the Times was looking for several technical interns for the summer. I decided to apply, and I emailed the provided address with my resume and some more information.
