Subject: Re: Wondering About Flatiron School

It isn't marketing lingo. Don't you feel pleasure and wonder coding? 
Seeing what you can create and how you can express it? I mean connect to 
that - this isn't just a job, we're not code monkeys or pixel pushers, 
we're artists. It's wondeful. Connect to that. I know the job can get 
stale but let's not forget what we're doing here.

Things Flatiron Students built this semester:

http://openissu.es - open issues aggregator off github with bounties, 
difficulty rating, owner endorsements, and upvotes.

http://flatiron.teamline.io - timelines for teams based on activity like 
tweets, commits, and blog posts.

http://openexam.org - collaborative quiz generator

and more.

plus I think we've had like 8 open source commits, have open sourced all 
the student projects, written like 60 blog posts on topics, and built 
http://xta.github.com/HalloweenBash/

Happy to provide more pudding for proof.

I know my language can get lavish when talking about code, it isn't a 
gimmick, it's how I feel.

Avi
