   Always love seeing what the fellows made over the summer. Glad to see first hand that HackNY is continuing to bring in such high quality students and pairing them up with NYCs best startups.

    Yep, I'll definitely still be in the scene. Those events were really important to me when I was a younger developer, so I'll be continuing to support them into the future

    I've been lucky enough to have jobs in the past that allotted a bunch of time for learning, but I know a ton of people who don't have that luxury. For students, I'm sure hackathons are a great change of pace from what they're doing in class

    Yeah, this would be super simple to build using SendGrid (which you could say is the Twilio equivalent for email). For example: http://sendgrid.com/docs/Code_Examples/ruby.html
