GitHub Training, a Donut Wall, and How I Won the Octocat

What does a donut wall, an Octocat and the fantastic April Yoho all have in common?

Well, they were all in the same place today.

Some genuinely excellent training provided by the GitHub team was the order of the day — and made all the sweeter for one particular reason: I won the Octocat in the end-of-day quiz.

Out of 70+ attendees.

Just goes to show I was paying attention. 😄

In all seriousness, days like this are a reminder of how much there is still to learn, even in tools and platforms you have been working with for years. The GitHub team did a brilliant job — well structured, engaging, and exactly the kind of session that sends you home genuinely energised rather than just ticking a compliance box.

The donut wall was also an inspired touch. More training events should come with a donut wall.
