Red Hat Internship - Student's perspective
summary
A high-school intern spends about a year at Red Hat, starts overwhelmed for roughly one month not understanding core tooling, and learns through once-a-week 1–2 hour sessions with a mentor who does not do regular check-ups. The concrete outcome is work on Ruby packaging—packaging AsciiBinder into Fedora—and later producing a script whose output appears on the Fedora developer portal. The internship delivers hands-on packaging, documentation practices, and open-source contributions rather than classroom theory.
