My internship on the Khan Academy iOS team

Anyone can apply for an internship; you can think of it as a paid, fixed-duration, apprentice-like position.

Only sometimes is it paid, and indeed the rise of the unpaid internship "for experience" is something of a problem.

While you may be correct in general, this is the guy who wrote the parenthetical at the end of the article who (presumably) runs Khan Academy's internship program.

I don't think I've heard of any unpaid internships at any decent technology companies.

Ah; sorry, I was referring to Khan Academy specifically.

That's interesting, thanks. Khan academy has been on my crush list for a while, it's fun to consider taking a break from consulting work to apply for an internship...
