End of an Internship, Beginning of a Career
My six-month engineering internship at One Door is winding to a close, and I am amazed at how much more comfortable I have become with the everyday process of being a developer in a workplace. Git has been described as something that is "hard to learn but once you know it, hard to live without." The ability to be working on a feature on one branch, then be able to (on the same machine) easily look at a different version of the code to help debug something is incredible. The fact that developers can treat this as unremarkable is even more incredible. I wish that I had kept up with this blog a little better while working, but I have been absorbed by what I am learning every day and what new tasks I have been given. Working as part of a team has been amazing, and the best feeling is when you are taken off of one team and put on another specifically because they asked to work with you. That's not to say I haven't made my share of "new developer mistakes,"
