When my father started, the person who was supposed to be overseeing him went on vacation for the first two weeks. With no oversight, my dad had to gain info somehow. He bought a giant jar of jellybeans and put it on his desk. People would come by to eat the jellybeans, and discuss work as an excuse. By the time his supervisor came back, he knew everything that was going on in the office and had a great handle on the job. Also, he met my mom, who was the only one who didn’t bother to talk work as an excuse, but just admitted she was there for the jelly beans.

This is actually sad. I’ve gone through this. I’m a manager now. One of the lessons I learnt to train new joinees or anyone in the team starting a new project for that matter, is to explain details step by step, again and again and again and again and again. And once I feel very sure they’ve understood, explain it once more. It’s tiresome and sometimes irritating for both sides but helps in the long run.
This no joke happened with me, but worse, my company taught me all these things on the fly (i had to learn all of them in detail myself) and then once i was ready to work they assigned me on something different because one of their teams was lacking a person lol
It's especially bad because it's usually impossible to describe programming concepts using words - you really need to see the code yourself or a visual representation of it.
@@TheRedKing247 exactly! They say “explain that to me” and it’s like wdym explain- look at it, and look at this result of it. Code is just like logical building blocks. I can’t explain that something works beyond saying “this does this” and showing you the code then pointing to the result. “But why does it do that?” Because you told it to lol.
As an IT Manager and former Developer myself it pains me that the Industry is anywhere remotely like this. Anyone that just a bit feels this is OK should be fired as a manager! When I get an intern or new employee they are top priority above everything else and I spend at least 1-2 weeks being there for them full-time so they get the good first experience and the knowledge they need...
It’s nice to see there are still people who believe in the concept of mentoring. Unfortunately most firms lacks mentors and just want the newbie to hit the ground running. What’s even more unfortunate is that the teammates who are willing to help the newbie out are also so overworked that they see this as an additional burden and do not find ample time or patience to guide the new person.
The most difficult part about programming is setting up your environment. Once the config bullshit that nobody knows how it works but everyone figures out how to make it work is up and running programing finally is actually fun.
there are projects and projects, some are trivial to set up, some are nearly impossible if not documented right. I've set up projects in 2-3 minutes and some that took hours because the dev team forgot to document that certain framework had to be this very specific version otherwise nothing works.
That also shows how little they understand because if you understand, you can explain since you don’t want someone else messing up and adding more work onto yours.
@Francisco Camacho If they wanted someone with that level of talent they shouldn't label the job as such or maybe pay more. And if they were going to end up lowering the requirement anyway why not start there and recieve a larger pool of applicants? To me a requirement is a hard line, while "suggested requirements" are bonuses the company would appreciate in thier applicant. Why require more when you would take less? So they want the best in thier company but would ultimately settle for less while also shutting out those other applicants by making thier requirements larger. Makes 0 sense.

This has been my experience every time I change programs/projects or join a new company. I was always told (and somewhat observed) that it takes 6mo-1yr to become comfortable with the project/codebase. What I didn't expect was that 3 months was just getting access and stumbling through several year old irrelevant documentation.
Does every company have a slow on-boarding process? I have mostly done finance/accounting work, but it is like they take a full month to get you all the tools you need, then they expect you to do 14 hours of work each day and get pissy the 'buffer' they gave you was eaten up by the on-boarding process...
@@Its_Captain_Jack_Sparrow honestly I’ll be blunt too. I don’t care about your opinion, and I wouldn’t want to work for an employer that acts like this.

Self taught C# programmer/game dev here, and believe me the hardest part is setting everything up alongside your first few tasks/month. After that it just becomes a routine.
ROFL I had the exact same feeling! Watching it in my first year of cs freaking out about how little I know, and then watching it at the end of my third year and realising most of it is gybrish on purpose XD
As a CS student paralyzed by the fear of being unprepared for work in any sort of programming-related job, this video and its comments feel somewhat relieving in that I am not alone at all.
One thing I've learned is to never accept requirements verbally over the phone or a teams call. Always make them document it somewhere, have a sit down with the team/part of the team, groom it and then estimate it - considering you're intending to implement it in a way that's industry standard. Most startups/small companies struggle due to lack of adherence to agile standards. Some red tape helps a long way, as long as it is limited to a certain extent.

Not to mention installing the extensions, packages, libraries, frameworks and whatever else the project requires, but they have to be done in a particular order and configured in a particular way or you have to start over from the last functioning instance.
Have any of you ever actually had a manager say something like that.. that was too unrealistic lol I guess it was kinda funny tho.. all the managers I’ve had give interns like a week just to install everything and then a whole month to do something as simple as making a web page with a navbar and title

Speak up, ask educated questions, admit what you don’t know, and relentlessly put in effort. Smart people with good character will recognize you and take you under their wing.
Issue is when you're dealing with not so smart people asking you for nonsense that they clearly don't understand. Why ask any question at that point? It's never a good idea to try to ask questions or discuss with a moron on an ego-trip.
You forgot the part where you can't install any of the tools or access the database because you lack admin authorization on your company laptop. So you need to go through IT and put in a ticket request, which can take days to resolve. On top of that, you have to set up the IDE and project, which depending on how lucky you are, can take the whole day up to the whole week. But I guess in the mean time, you can do all the training exercises, practice projects, and document reading while you wait! That is, if your team is good at documenting in the first place...
I was already scared. Im sure my first day they're going to ask me to re-program all the routers and build half of a new SQL database. Like bruh im new here I barely know how to plug in a network cable to a switch.
Bless my company. Nobody ever said that something is simple when i started and i also never used that word to other coworkers. I hadn't do any account setup, because all of them were linked to my AD account, so i just had to set my own passwords. I had introduction to scrum (because it was my first job in that methodology), domain introduction, and have 2 seniors next to me always willing to help (by asking questions, no some lazy "do this and that") and explain the code structure and communication. My first task was to write local development setup instruction, since i was the only dev that knew legacy module technology and the one we were about to implement. That was a good times.
Shout out to the trainers that actually take time to explain things and don’t make thing hard for no reason. Any good trainer from my experience can explain something with enough details so that you know what you’re supposed to do and with enough clarity that you don’t get lost along the way.
I have the feeling that there are many good trainers out there, but they're all so swamped with work that they don't find the time to go into full explanations.
To all the future interns watching this, it gets better with time. After a while you start piecing more and more together to the point where things start making sense.

@@zefix3133tbf that's most majors. There's this stigma that you only learn economics, architecture, coding, etc, in higher education when some of them especially coding is all on the web. That alone made it quite normal that people who are new to the field, unless they ever tried doing batshit insane shit with their PCs like copying random scripts to scrap anime, probably wouldn't have the slíghtest to clue for what programming is actually, especially since even now it's hard to find one unifying singular resource to study everything. Also, it doesn't have to be for your whole life. Some people entered it just for a degree and if you could afford that why not.
Reality: The first task that they give you is something that has no critical importance and is something that will be used in the end of the project, it is expected that you are going to fail in the beginning, so don't worry in your first day and take your time.
Where I've worked it depends for interns it's usually kinda inconsequential stuff that we hope they can figure out but it's meant as a learning experience. For hires it's usually a project that's meant to the 3-4 months but we want to bolt their work on to existing systems before we have them. Start working on existing stuff. I've heard horror stories but really in my experience interns and new people are give a pretty fair chance to get their feet wet before there is any expectations that they have to dive in.
Im not a software engineer but during my internship I was handling logistics for equipment worth millions of dollars right off the bat. I was so stressed out I lost 8 kg in the first month alone

"C Hashtag" got me good hahaha Thankfully (although somewhat annoyingly) my first dev job they gave us several weeks to learn the applications and get comfortable with some of the technologies we'd be using. Also having good teammates is a must.
The teammates part is definitely important, not just in your job but also in life. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are ambitious, kind, and hardworking will definitely keep you up your feet and go far.
"Okay, so either everything I know about coding is wrong, or you're just stringing technical terms together randomly. It's a 50/50 chance at this point."

This is actually sad. I’ve gone through this. I’m a manager now. One of the lessons I learnt to train new joinees or anyone in the team starting a new project for that matter, is to explain details step by step, again and again and again and again and again. And once I feel very sure they’ve understood, explain it once more. It’s tiresome and sometimes irritating for both sides but helps in the long run.
Ppl like u deserves every happiness
Also Training Documentation helps a lot if you dont want to feel like you’re micromanaging/ wasting time
We need more of a person like this for the job really.
i'm looking for my first coding job soon, and i do hope i will be overseen by someone like you
That's great. Lucky are those who join in your team
This no joke happened with me, but worse, my company taught me all these things on the fly (i had to learn all of them in detail myself) and then once i was ready to work they assigned me on something different because one of their teams was lacking a person lol

My biggest issue with programming is that any explanation for how something works inevitably involves 5 more things that need explaining.
That is usually my issue with having to explain something to someone who doesn’t have enough experience, yes!
It's especially bad because it's usually impossible to describe programming concepts using words - you really need to see the code yourself or a visual representation of it.
@@TheRedKing247 exactly! They say “explain that to me” and it’s like wdym explain- look at it, and look at this result of it. Code is just like logical building blocks. I can’t explain that something works beyond saying “this does this” and showing you the code then pointing to the result. “But why does it do that?” Because you told it to lol.
You don't get payed to understand how it works lol.
And there are usually 5 different ways to achieve each of those 5 things...
As a person who hasn’t programmed a thing, tech talk is a entire different language😬

As an IT Manager and former Developer myself it pains me that the Industry is anywhere remotely like this. Anyone that just a bit feels this is OK should be fired as a manager! When I get an intern or new employee they are top priority above everything else and I spend at least 1-2 weeks being there for them full-time so they get the good first experience and the knowledge they need...
Every industry out there needs more people like you.
it pains me to hear c hashtag
As a prospective intern, I say for all the interns ever: THANK YOU!
the mentor we all need
It’s nice to see there are still people who believe in the concept of mentoring. Unfortunately most firms lacks mentors and just want the newbie to hit the ground running. What’s even more unfortunate is that the teammates who are willing to help the newbie out are also so overworked that they see this as an additional burden and do not find ample time or patience to guide the new person.
The most difficult part about programming is setting up your environment.
Once the config bullshit that nobody knows how it works but everyone figures out how to make it work is up and running
programing finally is actually fun.
there are projects and projects, some are trivial to set up, some are nearly impossible if not documented right. I've set up projects in 2-3 minutes and some that took hours because the dev team forgot to document that certain framework had to be this very specific version otherwise nothing works.
Sometimes even basic env's are anoying as hell to set up, feels like most of those things are stuck in the 90s hahahhahh
Or the part where you think everything is setup correctly, but you keep getting error after error after error for certain actions xD

@Francisco Camacho If they wanted someone with that level of talent they shouldn't label the job as such or maybe pay more. And if they were going to end up lowering the requirement anyway why not start there and recieve a larger pool of applicants? To me a requirement is a hard line, while "suggested requirements" are bonuses the company would appreciate in thier applicant. Why require more when you would take less? So they want the best in thier company but would ultimately settle for less while also shutting out those other applicants by making thier requirements larger. Makes 0 sense.

One thing I've learned is to never accept requirements verbally over the phone or a teams call. Always make them document it somewhere, have a sit down with the team/part of the team, groom it and then estimate it - considering you're intending to implement it in a way that's industry standard.
Most startups/small companies struggle due to lack of adherence to agile standards. Some red tape helps a long way, as long as it is limited to a certain extent.

For hires it's usually a project that's meant to the 3-4 months but we want to bolt their work on to existing systems before we have them. Start working on existing stuff.
I've heard horror stories but really in my experience interns and new people are give a pretty fair chance to get their feet wet before there is any expectations that they have to dive in.
Im not a software engineer but during my internship I was handling logistics for equipment worth millions of dollars right off the bat. I was so stressed out I lost 8 kg in the first month alone
As a beginner going into the tech industry, this has provided me with enough anxiety.

This is so funny😂😂. The "C hashtag" got me.😂
When the mentor knows literally NOTHING about software engineer but only the JARGONS they use
yea at least he's clearly heard of C hashtag

eh, you stated here on your resume that you have 1.5 years of experience in javascript. that means you can maintain our old soon to be deprecated java codebase, whose only developer just retired

"Cluster the html attributes and use bootstrap to strap everything together"
Please have mercy
Run facedesk.exe
Bootstrap is ok but I mean when you can use css grid why need bootstrap
@@alirashid3562 Many reasons...
I wanna learn lmao what the fuck does this mean?
@@ethanmiles20 its total gibberish. Clustering refers to running multiple machines together to share resources and processing load. Html is a language that builds websites and other things. And a boot strapper is a piece of firmware involved in the boot process. None have anything to do with each other.
"Don't hesitate to ask me any questions" *does not even give a chance to speak*
You won't receive questions if they don't speak, experience~!
He said " Don't hesitate to ask me any questions" nothing about him answering those questions.
Those types of people deserve to step on legos
Then asking anything via email will have a ~half-1 day timeframe to get a reply and in the reply they just say you're the expert so you should know all those stuff already, or just "ask your colleagues".

"Multithreading in javascript" boy if someone says that to me on the first day in a new job I would resign on same day.
You can do multi threading in nodejs/javascript. nodejs is single threaded but you can use a clustering tool like PM2 to run it in a multithreaded way on a server. I think with Nodejs v10, there is also native support for multithreads.
All these scripts that don't have simple compiler capabilities makes multithreading alot harder. Pretty easy to compile off of multiple .exes.
@@generalqwer You don't need that. You can do multi threading even without v10, if you know what you are doing. Node has access to the shell and some other useful functions afterall.
I thought node.js/JavaScript was async by default so it shouldn't be too hard to do multiple processes at once? Or am I missing something...
@@dijkstra4678 It's only asynchronous atomically. It's not actually truly asynchronous, since it's single threaded.
Lmao this sounds like the assignment a recruiter would make up.
Create a simple multithreaded program in javascript, since you wrote down you know javascript and you also know multithreading.
A recruiter would like me to implement a indeed in a day and give me generously 50k salary LMAO
"we're a pretty diverse company; we use multiple technologies-" finally, an actual use of the term.

@@gericko4931 Most companies say that they are diverse to try and get people to think they hire from all kinds of race/religion to get them to buy more of their products when in reality all they use is a diverse set of software and don’t care about that race/religion stuff 🤷♂️

THE FRKING MACHINE LEARNING ONE LMAO. Dude, this video made me feel so much better because I just finished my Amazon Future Engineering internship recently, and honestly this was me the first day and many days after that T-T. So many new words, softwares, and phrases to learn. Sometimes they expect you to know it sometimes they don't. You never know! You have no idea how many times I had to record a call so I can go back on it later.
You'll be fine, I believe in you! stranger
You can record calls?! This changes everything!
Congrats, I know you'll do well.
I’m mechanical engineering and I was expected to know machine learning and CNN and ANN whatever that was in coordination to the software engineering team.
I’m currently in the ata program at amazon and I wonder if you did the same thing? I’m trying to be in your shoes rn 🥲😊 soon tho!!
"C Hashtag" got me good hahaha
Thankfully (although somewhat annoyingly) my first dev job they gave us several weeks to learn the applications and get comfortable with some of the technologies we'd be using. Also having good teammates is a must.
The teammates part is definitely important, not just in your job but also in life. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are ambitious, kind, and hardworking will definitely keep you up your feet and go far.
"Add some multi threading in the JavaScript." 😂😂
"Okay, so either everything I know about coding is wrong, or you're just stringing technical terms together randomly. It's a 50/50 chance at this point."
could also be both
Or when the code you write should technically work and doesn't... And suddenly we r left scrambling for other ways to make it work... That's what happened this week... 🤓👾😵
@@PunkNetrunner Don't forget the times when the code doesn't work, you give up, come back to it later, and it suddenly runs perfectly
Second choice.

" Machine Learning, you new kids are really good at that stiff nowadays"

My sister is currently pursing a masters in Machine learning for her engineering degree 😂😂
@@booknerdjebbi5037 how is she liking it?
I work for a large engineering firm (I’m EE), and one of the CEs hired at same time became my cubicle mate. I kid you not, they made him learn how to code and debug machine learning on day 3 of the job.
@@Deper91 wow! Just wow
Machine learning sounds fancy. And it is. But it's a pain in the ass actually. You have to have a research'ers mind to do this.
That moment when they say “do you have any questions?” but you still have no idea what’s going on so you say no
Yeah, there are exactly two reasons, if you have no questions about something:
Reason 1: You understood everything.
Reason 2: You understood nothing.
"I don't have any questions, because I'm dumb, so please don't fire me, because it's my first day, just wait until tomorrow"
Lol this is me in my discrete math class right now
Usually I response with: I'm sure that I even don't know what questions I have.
the correct response is "please file a Jira ticket"
The "C Hashtag" is my favorite part, keeps me coming back to this skit just to see it again.
One thing that has always helped me in these situations, is to ask for a written description \ board task. If you feel overwhelmed with the task description, It’s better to ask for the task in writing, and not continue to guess what the task was about while doing the task.
Lol my manager would tell to take notes as he’s speaking, there’s your written task
It's best to leave the recording on
yeah, document it in jira so that they cannot backpaddle what they requested.
@@observantmagic6196 That's a good advice, thank you Sir

Tbh whenever I hear the Microsoft teams call ringtone, I get anxiety. I hate it so much
same here that I even stopped the video because I thought that sound was coming for an actual call from work

You can change the ringtone in the settings! I had to change it a while ago because I was having the same issue, dreading the sound of it lol
