Just started as an intern as a web developer in a small company. I have about 4 semester of coding experience and was hoping to learn a lot new things. Well it turns out that the main developer who's responsible for building our product has no fucking clue what he's doing. Our biggest document has about 6k lines and it kills my 8 GB ram notebook. Instead of writing one nice function, solving the problem which is occurring frequently, he wrote the same fucking thing multiple times... In the same fucking document. That's just one of many things.
Well now my job is mostly trying to stay cool, while my notebook gets hot af and somehow keeping my code OCD bearable

    2 options

    1. search for another internship preferably at a big company with an established intern program.

    2. stay and teach yourself as much as possible. And socialize with your coworkers so that they like you and you get a favourable letter of recommendation. Bring cake, buy ice cream.

    @heyheni Thank you for your advice, I'll definitely use the time there to teach myself as much as possible. One positive side effect of a small company is that I can do the whole spectrum of work.

    The worst code, is also the best code to learn from.

    You now know what not todo!

    You could slowly refactor the code and learn quite a bit actually.

    I could offer you a permanent remote only position if you're from Bulgaria.
