just a little pool here, do you, yes, you, do you think an inexperienced intern should take an epic story?
(not that there we work with agile, that would be great, but it's a task equivalent to an epic.)

No... not on their own. Nothing good can come of it, either they'll get depressed and lost at the scale of it... or theyll have a damn good crack at it but miss things, deliver something that is a ball ache for the team to support because it's so different to anything else, probably be a bug ridden ball of spaghetti.

Potentially put them in a pair with a more experienced programmer.

@agile-dante yeah, that's what I figured, thanks for the thought 😄
