🔥 Fancy Action and his team built this project at the Hack4Change Hackathon!! WOOOOO!
🔥 Check out Tony Brackins Events app here called Eventlia!
🔥@oliver was part of a legendary team in Voyage-4, and he’s written an article about his team experience here.
🔥 (Especially for Voyage — 6ers!) Francesco Agnoletto did a live stream on using Git in a team setting a few weeks ago. I highly recommend it!
🔥Check out the code for Eric Zumwalt’s Memory game here! Sidenote: Eric gets an extra shoutout for showcasing such grit in Voyage-5. 💪
🔥Emmilie Estabillo showcased the Build-to-Learn mindset this week when she built a twitter bot to help raise awareness of depression. She also wrote a short article about the project, which you can see here!
🔥I love this, @jaffacake built this project for a family friend. Building to learn for good!
🔥I love this minimalist approach to a personal site by @alexandergarcia! (nice animation in there too)
🔥 Speaking of personal projects, I highly recommend checking out @waswa’s personal page and to read his “About me”. Quite the inspiration individual he is!
As you probably already know my name is Waswa. I’m a CompSci major at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. My story is one with many twists and turns but ultimately left me somewhere I belong: code.
🏖 Jim Medlock has been gallivanting around Hawaii this past week and was kind enough to this (as well as a picture of his feet with a pristine ocean backdrop 😂)
🔥Team-mates of the Week🔥
@AK
@crisner ← She is awesome !! Needs a loud shout-out.
@Dani Vijay
@fancyAction, @sparta
@ibrahim
@Jason Kim , He set up our team repo’s boilerplate and explained how React-Native worked on a high level to us. He is our Scrum Master and explained how that works in a professional setting. He also contributed to our app wireframe. From the moment we adopted him into our team he’s shown initiative and a real want to go far with our team.
@jon-maldia; After our team lead disappeared, although Jon is busy with his work, he volunteered to set up our team project! We really appreciate it ;)
@Julis
@marianoheller seems super on top of everything, pushes code quickly, offers great assistance, and has stellar feedback. @Madison_Crocker is an excellent team lead, encouraging activity and motivation, and is very flexible with both handling ideas and executing code across our stack. @Raymond oozes an aura of motivation and determination, continuously wanting to pair-program and bang out code for our app!

Overheard in Chingu
Random lines taken out of context from the Chingu cohorts!
@Ziggysauce got a job!
Completed project planning, have initial user stories in place, stack chosen and everyone is contributing well! So far, excellent start! :-)
Hi everyone, this is my first cohort. Very excited to get out of my comfort zone and build some great stuff! 🎉
I finally had the ‘click’ moment with React, where it started to make sense.
hhhhhhhh helloooo guys wooow this is so excitiinng seeing you all guys so hyper ❤️
I got a job!
I started working on Algorithms from Leetcode after getting inspiration from fellow Chingus.
Get ready for a wild ride!
Chingu of the Week
This week the honors go to @sylvie!
Not only was she recruited to join an awesome transfer project in Voyage-5, but she has also helped improve Chingu for the rest of the community by refreshing the Voyage wiki! @sylvie showcases two incredibly valuable traits as a team-mate: 1) She is considerate and highly reliable & 2) She has a miraculous eye for detail. In this way she’s an inspiration to the community and not only are we lucky to have her here, but future Voyagers will have a better experience because of her. 💯
p.s. Special shout-out to Jim Medlock for being himself and the immense contributions he’s had in bringing the wiki into existence, as well as working with @sylvie on the refreshed version.
Quotes to Go
The most successful open-source software engineers are the ones who collaborate best; they build on an improve the work of their peers, even when there’s no obvious immediate benefit to them. Even big companies like GE are talking up a “radical shift in everyday work behavior” toward collaboration. — Jeremy Heimans
