@dontPanic It lead me to a point where I wasn't even happy to come at the office, and the end of the day was feeling like a liberation :')

@LMestre14 you're right. That was my first internship, and it was very short. I was in a team that was not linked at all with dev, so I was a bit scared to ask for potential help to make my environment better.
Now, I understand that if I need something, I need to push for it and be (a little bit) a crybaby about it :) -
@linuxxx I'm thinking about renting a flat here, got any sweet tips? ^^

@Kryptic0 I still have nightmares about it. The fact is that I asked for another editor, that was in the company's "allowed software list". I got it 1 week before leaving.

@Piwaye Go for an encrypted one :P

@Enewia i'd prefer to keep it secret :p
That's a good plan🤣
Started working in a company as an intern, they want me to do everything whether I know how to or not.
‎Best end-of-internship gift.
So, after weeks of reading spicy rants from all of you, I finally decided to join your community ; even if I'm only a student, I've encountered some solid crap in my internships.
Let's go back in time bois. Two years ago, I started my first intership at a Fortune 500 company (this doesn't exists in France, but whatever, this is nearly the same category). I was supposed to build some file sharing system for the office. Before getting into it, I briefly thought aboyt what technos I could use to build it and make a sweet interface for my co-workers, in 10 weeks, and not a single another day.
Expectations
> Nice team with devs that I could ask things about and learn solid tricks that would even amaze David Copperfield
> Having a nice dev environment
Reality
> Alone on this project
> No fucking dev environment, I had to build everything on Notepad
> No CI
> No SCM
> And, the worst, Ladies and Gentlemans,
I FUCKING HAD TO WORK IN A SINGLE FILE IN A CLOSED ENVIRONMENT.
NO WEBSERVER, NO DEDICATED SPACE.
I HAD TO REQUEST A SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENT IN A CLOSED CUSTOM CMS THAT WAS SERVING FILES, SO THIS FORMAT COULD BE READ ON FOLDER OPENING IN IE9 (FIREFOX FORBIDDEN).
YOU HAD TO MIX HTML, CSS AND JS IN A SINGLE FILE. NO SERVER-SIDE LANGUAGES, ONLY STATIC LINKS, NO FRAMEWORKS (if we can call jQuery, Bootstrap, Semantic UI and all these thinks "Frameworks").
