almost 1 mil wow, look mom i'm famous

The phrase "I assume you're already familiar with.." triggers a deep fear in me because 99% of the time I am not

Senior dev: So its been an hour, how much progress have you made? 1st day dev: A lot actually, I'm almost done with my resignation letter.

note to self: record calls

I started my first real programming job, two months ago, and I can totally relate that the first month of programming was pretty overwhelming.

The most difficult part of programming isn’t solving problems, it’s understanding the task.

Plot twist: his mic was muted the whole time.

It's insane how accurate this is. Got my first job about a month, and I can't even believe how similar my situation was (even the AI part). It gets better, tho. To reiterate what others commented, the most difficult tasks in the beginning are setting setting up the codebase and understanding what your task is.

This popped up on my feed 2 years ago and I didn’t understand most of it back then. Seeing it again now made me chuckle to see how far I’ve come. About to graduate in a few months with my degree. Keep grinding!

The only thing school taught me was an irrational fear of lacking information about important things I need to do.

Recruiter: “Install Java” Me: “Yea I got that for minecraft”

As someone studying software development, this gave me crippling anxiety and makes me want to stay at my dead end retail manager job until I turn into dust and float away in the abyss.

BOOTSTRAP TO STRAP EVETYTHING TOGETHER , Genius HAHAHA

The C hashtag got me so good. As well as "diverse company", it literally means we don't know what we are doing so let's try everything.

The part where they over explain the simple parts but skip over some of the most crucial ones is so accurate

I started as a technical support engineer exactly 1 month and 6 days ago... My boss is pretty cool and knows I'm new at this stuff, but I FEEL ALL OF THIS DUDE'S EMOTIONS

I'm literally in this position right now. I have a bachelor in biology and then after one year in digital heath care masters I got accepted to pursue my curriculum as a software engineer. I'm afraid of my lack of knowledge since it's all new to me and now it's scaring me shitless since I have just started my internship 😭 Update: after more than a month an a half, I gotta say full stack dev is not a nightmare to me like it used to. Thanks to a very patient teammate, coding is now kinda fun 😊

As a guy who doesn’t know a thing about software engineering. I can relate

Meanwhile on the other call: So we need you to print hello world

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.

I'm going through a tough job search process and this video is just all I needed to make my day :pp

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.

Many people don't teach, they just want to show you how much they know.

It does deserve 13M views man. You NAILED it 😂😂😂

I watched this 1 year ago. Since then, I’ve done so much IT shit. I just saw this in my recommended and watched it again and now understand EVERYTHING

C hashtag??!!!??????

Plot twist- The call was recorded earlier and plays for every newcomer.

dudeee this is so relatable!!!

Yeah, the lag in the teams screenshare, the multiple apps you have to install, the amount of info the bomb you and the "its pretty simple" is exactly what happened to me in my first day hahahahahha

1 Hour Later Teacher: Hi, I am here to check up on your progress. Student: It's going great I have almost finished downloading

Don't forget how he says you are free to ask questions, forgetting he said this when you actually ask and making you feel like shit for asking because you "should already know this by now".

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.

bruh i am in my 6th semester rn and just started my internship as a software developer in a company yesterday and was overwhelmed with everything, because i barely understood what they were talking in the meeting and all the tasks. It was not even talked in the uni at all. Now i feel like giving up :( i really could relate to your video hahaha

C Hashtag had me dying 😂

“You new kids are really good at that stuff nowadays.” Ah yes, the stereotype that us younger generation knows everything about computers 🤣🤣🤣

As soon as i heard the teams call sound my eyes went down. Terrifyingly accurate.

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.

This sounds like one of those LinkedIn recruitments in which the recruiters look for an employee but want the skillset of an entire IT department rofl 😂😂😂

Me: *applies for entry level job* "Hi I have 4 years of java experie...." Interviewer: YOU NEED 7

Stuff like this is why I always kept myself from learning how to do any coding as I always feel like you’re never going to know enough, especially through self learning I would imagine there’s a certain basis you’re going to miss. Probably wrong to some degree but man, every single time I imagine myself coding and learning and hopefully at some point being able to get a job through/with coding, it’s just really daunting. In my early 30’s now and yeah.. know a couple of guys who’re really into this kind of stuff, software engineers etc and when they start talking among themselves I’m like.. are you even human

bootstrap to strap everything in the end lol

As a person who hasn’t programmed a thing, tech talk is a entire different language😬

My biggest issue with programming is that any explanation for how something works inevitably involves 5 more things that need explaining.

This is so funny😂😂. The "C hashtag" got me.😂

Thankyou for the timestamps 🤣 very clear and concise

As an non IT personnel, didn’t understand a word and yet felt the frustration!

C hashtag, that's exactly how it's pronounced

I'm in my first week and things has went quite smoothly 😂 except for the fact that my training story has a bunch of subtask and suddenly my SM come up with an idea that I should finish them all before the end of sprint, which is tomorrow, he even said "you still have tomorrow's morning" 😂

I'm literally just starting to learn how to program and I'm proudly to say, i actually understood that first half 😂😌

Hearing that Microsoft Teams call sound gave me anxiety.

Not pictured: Him desperately searching stack overflow when something invetibly breaks down

Bro this is hilarious 😂

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.

the teams call gave me PTSD. "CAN U SEE MY SCREEN?" i have heard this thousand times

The anxiety I got from this was insane and almost made me rethink my career path.

Thanks for the heads up 😂

This is sooooo relatable, It's my second day at work and already got a mini project to do, and it's about something that I never heard😢, I hope I will survive until the next month 😅

first: clone the git repository next: install git

Legends say he is still out there somewhere figuring out how to strap everything with bootstrap.

As i am still learning, I come to this video after a while and everytime i am more familiar with the terms spoken in it lol

That Teams notification sound gave me chills.

this is what a technical interview sounds like when they’re definitely trying to hire senior devs with a junior payscale LOL

This isn't a skit it's a documentary.

as an IT student you got me really excited to go into my job

This never gets old 😂😂 " C hashtag" 😅

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.

My favorite is "We like candidates who are self-starters and can hit the ground running", which translates to: "We expect you to be a wizard with 99 years experience, and we will fire you if you take too long or have any questions at all"

As someone who has an interview for a Full-Stack Engineering Intern tomorrow, that sure was cool to watch!

I'm currently on work placement for some experience and it was literally like this. I was so overwhelmed.

This 100% accurate. Reminded me of my first day as software engineer and the senior dev said "if you have any question please be HESITANT to ask" 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.

bro the "can you see my screen" and then you waiting is so accurate JAJAJJAJAJAJAJA

bruh this is too relatable. i remember having a system problem downloading some things and all of the other interns on my team had no problem. it took a solid week w my manager doing it for me until he realized i wasn’t just a stupid intern and it actually wasnt working. i was basically LIVING w the it help desk. nightmare.

For any intern-to-bes: most mentors are actually super nice and patient. Don't worry you'll do fine :)

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

This was hilarious!

Damn! That's painfully accurated

Professor: "You'll never use this, so we'll just skim through this chapter "

"You will be done in 1 hour, right? I see you then." Meanwhile the download: "2hrs remaining"

Ahh yeah the 1 - 3 hours deadline😂 luv it

Most difficult thing is setting everything up the first time… git, vscode, cloning repos, pathing standards & also reading the requirements n trying to make sense out of it

The Microsoft Teams ring gives me PTSD lol. I even looked down at the right corner of my screen.

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...

Everything aside, can someone explain wth is 7.5 api call like how you do that. Like do you just send a Get request and refuse accept the info

Installing the software has the highest learning curve imaginable.

One of my first tasks was to fix a little bug I ended up successfully fixing it however my fix created 15 new bugs

Every now and then I come back to this video to check my progress. I now understand most of what he's talking about

I laughed so much with this one! It's so typical 😂

lemme tell you a little secret: it's not just internship, this will happen forever

Companies:"I don't understand why our developers are quitting we give them so many benefits and good salary"

"C hashtag?" Fired.

lol that last bookmark

My first day of work was exactly like that. I basically had to find a coworker who’s nice enough to tutor me a bit to understand what’s going on. After few weeks, I finally understood what the hell our company is really doing.

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...

C Hashtag had me ROLLING

I went through this but it's not too bad after a few weeks. Really gets your mind in gear.

Currently in my third year in college working towards a degree in applied CS. Despite gettings A's and B's in all my CS classes I still feel like I know next to nothing, so this video speaks to me on a spiritual level.

"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."

The 7.5 API calls was the best lol

I got anxiety hearing the zoom call effect.
