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

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.

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.

Omfg even the “I have to jump to another call and dont hesitate to ask any questions” 😂😂😂 exactly

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

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

BOOTSTRAP TO STRAP EVETYTHING TOGETHER , Genius HAHAHA

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 😊

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

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

I was once tasked at my first day to set up a whole new server for the company while having noted that I'm basically ready to do anything except network related stuff. I felt this video so hard. Thanks, mate!

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

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".

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

Dude, the pause between him asking if you can see the screen and then it pops up 15 seconds afterwards is so damn real

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

C Hashtag had me dying 😂

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

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.

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

dudeee this is so relatable!!!

bootstrap to strap everything in the end lol

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

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

I have experienced the same way bro! you made my feeling clear in this video

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

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

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

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.

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

first: clone the git repository next: install git

Hearing that Microsoft Teams call sound gave me anxiety.

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

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.

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

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

The "C Hashtag" is my favorite part, keeps me coming back to this skit just to see it again.

Thankyou for the timestamps 🤣 very clear and concise

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

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

Thank god for my supervisor being an absolute G and helping me along the way barely having set up a development environment before.

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

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

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

Loved it!

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 😅

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 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.

watching this as someone who is starting my first internship in 2 weeks is both reassuring and terrifying

Damn I’m learning currently and i understand some of it that’s so cool

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...

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 😂😂😂

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

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

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

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

This never gets old 😂😂 " C hashtag" 😅

C hashtag got me cracked dude😂

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"

Can confirm, at my last job it took about 3 months from hire to coding and it was all set-up

Thanks for the heads up 😂

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

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

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

this was funny asl

Note: Record these types of meetings, in case you have a potato memory like mines.

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.

lol that last bookmark

I understood SOME of the instructions, and I consider this a victory.

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

Installing the software has the highest learning curve imaginable.

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" 😂

" Any questions "😂

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

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

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

This video come out two years ago when I just started my internship. It was so painfully relatable that I didn't laugh.

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

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.

Bro this is hilarious 😂

Ahh yeah the 1 - 3 hours deadline😂 luv it

My first week as a machine learning engineer, I had to write two web site pages front and backend, edit a video to put on the home page of the website and create a dashboard with excel using horsecrap data. I'm not even joking!! A client had the audacity to ask us to have a fully functional website with online payment and everything in 3 weeks time, 3 - WEEKS - TIME. And they kept making last minute changes to the layout of the website thinking we're doing this shit on microsoft paint.

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

I can feel the fear of that call sound

You had me with C hashtag 🤣🤣🤣
