Hmmm so here's what I thought, now it seems you got free time since all you do is inputing data and upload it to server or something. So what I suggest is create a program to do it automatically. You can use watchdog lib for Python to do this task. Use watchdog to watch the file changes, then use http to upload it.
If the app works, you can write it on your cv instead of just "input"ing data to excel. After that, you could start applying jobs on another companies.👌 -
If the information is on paper, try using image recognition to extract the information needed and automate the process like others have suggested.
I was told that some companies really like having somebody write them some shit like this for theire managers tasks in vb for outlook and other office products.
He said while being a sys admin, he is asked to write vb and powershell scripts all day.
My friend said an intern designed this UI for an internal site.
No. Just... no
When I am trying to figure out what's going on in the code
I got an internship as a Software Developer!.... So I thought.
I have been here for 4 months now, all I have done is manually insert data into a excel spreadsheet and upload it to the backend system through a UI. I haven't done any coding whatsoever or even spoke about it.
The boss's excuse was that I need to know how the system works. I understood and carried on...but 4 months later I am doing the same thing over and over again and it's not looking like any sort of progression will happen.
What should I do? Do I leave....I want to get expirence but I am not learning anything.
HELP!
