Ask HN: How can a CS undergrad gain real-world skills?

Work on an opensource project! There are tons available on GitHub, some with really basic stuff. It will look great on your CV, you'll learn a lot from other devs, and it's good for the open source software movement (i.e. everyone!).

We're always looking for contributors, you can check out what we're doing here - https://github.com/Warewolf-ESB/Warewolf-ESB
