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
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

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.
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'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 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.
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.☠️
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 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.
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.
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
*Senior developer handles me his work and I get stuck* Me as an intern: I am stuck here. Can you help me out? Send dev: Just figure it out! *Sirens in distance *Hyperventilation *Database crashes *HR calls for an urgent meeting
its an exaggeration. applications can get big with a lot of moving parts so sometimes even experience seniors are seeing a part of the code base for the first time. But for them they eventually figure it out. I was assigned a bug ticket and had to get a senior help and we debug together. He was also super confused but eventually when i pointed out the root of the problem ( i had more time to read that part of the code) , he saw it was his faulty code written 3 weeks ago😂
@@rkpinata373 depends where you work, i can point you to the team fortress 2 code, sometimes it's just a bunch people bashing their head against the wall until something ends up working by happenstance
As someone that has no idea the nuance and genius of this skit, I kept waiting for the extra L in getUmbrelllas to pop up as the punchline. I assume since it didn't get pointed out that there are many little errors all throughout all the code in this and that's part of a running-gag-mini-side-punchline
Intern should've rejected that. The senior probably assigned it to the intern because he secretly put an obfuscated crypto miner in there, which is why the code is unreadable.

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?

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.

That feeling of "He wants me to review *his* code?" is truly universal for software devs

That's an every software developer experience, including for seniors.

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.

The relatability in this😂

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

Always better to ask questions. Just make sure it’s the right time and setting. Know how to read the room.
They should do this in a meeting, discussing it maybe line by line, the intern could learn a lot, and the senior also have a recheck his own code.
