The real intern experience is spending a week working on a PR, sending it in with everything ironed out perfectly, having crafted the best PR of your entire life, then seeing it rot on the task list with a low priority number for months
Bro!! I thought I was the only one. I had fixed a major issue in production, gave the PR and it got merged after two months lol. I had literally zero tasks for those months
Months? More like years! I have in all seriousness a couple of PR's from over a year(when I started) open. Lets see if they are gonna be reviewed next year...
Intern tension: "I'm new and am expected to know these things. I can't ask or they will think I don't have a clue what I'm doing. But I also don't feel like I know what I'm doing." Senior tension: "This kid must be brilliant because they haven't asked questions. They must know the latest/greatest practices so I can't question that. I don't understand this and I'm expected to teach them..." Both: LGTM
The real intern experience is spending a week working on a PR, sending it out for review, then finding out the requirements were all wrong because the senior engineer that gave you direction was not on the same page as the other senior engineers.
Unfortunately I have been the one creating this scenario for a new hire. It sucks on the senior/mid side too. After several cases of this, I tried to iron out the details before giving the task and that helped tremendously.
Actually worked with an intern who manually changed his job title on the internal portal to 'senior software engineer intern' as it was his 4th internship at the company - made me giggle.
Fun and brilliant! But maybe also a way to say that rather than having a fourth internship one should be hired or at least get a consultancy? Don't know about the specific situation so maybe you'll tell more, but fourth internship (and at the same company!) sounds out of this world to me
@@matteosposato9448I did 3 paid internships for the same company - during the student vacations each year in university. So if they're still full time studying then it's not necessarily exploitative
If CI passes, it's totally fine. I just started at a new company and haven't really learned some of the systems yet, so I just depend on compiler errors and tests to tell me if I'm breaking things. Just like an intern.
CI is the bare minimum. Most part of code review isn't even about things that broke. Also really depends on the quality of CI how reliable it is for detecting broken things.
@@andyschee942 Big vouch for the Scheester. Making sure that your code follows the proper standards (well documented with comments, proper usage of variables and functions, ensuring everything is clean etc.) is super integral to having great code. Bad code breaks, good code just works, great code works and can be understood and fixed easily in the future.
I will definetely add the following point to my resume "Increased corporate profits by 27% by enhancing user experience by shifting critical ui component to utilize warm shades" paraphrase: I made a button red
I wonder what the world of "structured" software engineering is like. I'm working in research and optimising/adapting ML algorithms but there's no code review, only results review, and no one else knows my code but me. I feel like I'm losing my mind with the freedom I'm allowed because I'll have 5 things I want to do but can only have time to do 1.
I work on legacy mainly, and it's a lot of "do exactly what was requested, and _only_ what was requested". Just today I got back from lunch to find several messages about how a PR of mine last week broke the release branch for everyone on another (parallel) team. This issue could be solved with a basic try-catch, but to be honest having looked through it further I don't know that we want to even make the change I was asked to make (and already implemented, albeit with a bug) due to subtle issues that are direct results of this plan.
Im working as an intern in an ML research project, mostly just reporting results from different papers. I feel like ive hit a ceiling mathematically and my major isnt focused on ML its actually cybersecurity. How do you suggest I get better?
@@rewrose2838 Nah mate, people have broken release three times since I wrote that a week ago. As long as someone catches it before there's a real problem, you're fine.
Great content, was watching your vids while prepping for the interviews and they were great at boosting my morale. Now after getting a return offer this week, this video seems like a cherry on top.
Good ol intern days they had me twiddle from thumbs for 4 weeks then gave me some random code story development with one sentence in rally describing what to do and then being busy for the whole week only to get the jr offshore developer to yell at me for what I was doing 😅. The managers would then not find any other work until it was two weeks until I was supposed to leave and act like they loved me.☠️
I'm a junior dev. My team recently had a new senior dev join. Senior dev clones a repo and starts making some changes and asks me, why doesn't their code work. I tell them to please push their code to another branch so I can review. One week later, sends me a zip file containing the whole project repo (doesn't know how to use Git Hub). First thing I see are a bunch of nested loops, 150 lines of if-else statements, a bunch of poorly named variables, and no comments. WTF. I'm dead.
Been there, that’s real life. Maybe not at FAANG, but in smaller companies or teams this can definitely happen. Promotions based on seniority, not skill level… My advice: Stay away from those companies/teams. Work with skilled people and for companies that value skill.
HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW DID THAT HAPPEN ????? My last interview I straight up outperformed 90% of the candidates and that was still not good enough. WHAT THE FUCK ????
I don't mind nitpicking, it's all in how they conduct it. If they ask the right questions, like "Would it be better if we do XYZ? or "Are we able to do such and such on this line?" than they give you the opportunity to rebuttal or agree without them feeling like an ass, and you feeling like an idiot. Most good companies train on how to properly review PR's, and its a Senior priority to keep comments professional.
It's that and also everyone has a Senior who just rubberstamps everything for their best friend that is filled with breaking changes, yet everytime they review your PR they go through it character by character nitpicking every detail with comments.
Same thing happened to me as a intern. You know what my senior co-worker did? Without any word he stood up from his chair, walked next to me, took my laptop and reviewed it in 2 seconds. Yeah, at that time it was my first experience with git, so I didn’t even remembered what happened 😂 Of course he was teaching me more later

And then never getting merged until it is inevitably closed!
Bro!!
I thought I was the only one.
I had fixed a major issue in production, gave the PR and it got merged after two months lol.
I had literally zero tasks for those months
The best python package of my life was never even reviewed
This gave me PTSD
Months? More like years! I have in all seriousness a couple of PR's from over a year(when I started) open. Lets see if they are gonna be reviewed next year...
That feeling of "He wants me to review *his* code?" is truly universal for software devs
Intern manager had me dying 💀
switching variable colour to color has made it 20% efficient saving millions of dollars in cloud cost. keep up the great work !
Lmao chuckled so hard 😂😂😂
Actually, "colour" is 20% less efficient than "color",
but "color" is 16,67% more effective than "colour"
You can actually put 10% of the code in the filename. Huge space saver.
😂😂😂😂
Intern tension: "I'm new and am expected to know these things. I can't ask or they will think I don't have a clue what I'm doing. But I also don't feel like I know what I'm doing."

There are some words in that hudge fact
As a frontend dev who started just 6 months ago i need to say that this comment made me calm 😁 Thanks
Omg is this what I get to look forward to?
True! The best is when seniors just explain everything without me having to ask😂😂😭
If that's honestly the senior tension I might not ask questions ever

1:15 If I ever see that in a PR, I'm going to church.
The only difference between this and “seniors” reviewing is that they nitpick even dumber things and constantly ask you what something does
Knowing when and how to ask questions is knowledge too
I don't mind nitpicking, it's all in how they conduct it.

Shit, I had tears rolling on my cheeks from laughing. Nice one !
The relatability in this😂
Engineering Manager: guys who deleted 95% of the code?
Always better to ask questions. Just make sure it’s the right time and setting. Know how to read the room.
i literally just had to review an MR on a project i worked on in the spring that a swe outside my team was trying to contribute to. It was terrifying
Intern manager🤣🤣
Senior intern😂
LGTM, great work! If this was real I would cry at my desk.
3.5 YOE as a front-end dev and finally feel comfortable reviewing seniors' code and actually providing meaningful feedback and/or improvements lol.

ella ellaaa ehhh ehhhh shoutout rihanna !
good work on this one bro
This is amazing, keep pausing the screen for the fantastic jokes all around
>guys why is prod down it's literally 1 am
Was waiting for your videos :)
When the senior is drunk and the intern is delusional. Good context I should say XD
‘speaking in intern’ had me dying considering I’m still learning the language
Intern => senior intern => intern manager....wow! great progress in career.
Welcome back man!!
"yeaaaahhh should be fine" half of the time ends in disaster XD of course if it's merged without in-depth code review
Got a senior in my team whom's process is probably similar because he only nitpicks on stuff while there's huge blatant bugs in plain sight
It's that and also everyone has a Senior who just rubberstamps everything for their best friend that is filled with breaking changes, yet everytime they review your PR they go through it character by character nitpicking every detail with comments.
