Well deserved

Process incoming webhook and run your scripts on your servers

Update: He was fired few days ago, he worked with 3-4 more mentors and they decided he was just too disobedient to be productive. He needs to grow up. I wish him all the best in life, and to realise all the mistakes he made and to learn from his experience...

It's usually the other way around for me. Starting to question my sanity and if 1+1 still equals 2, and then figure out my fix an hour ago worked just fine, but the browser had the buggy version cached...

Do you have a degree in engineering?

We're trying twist out atm :-)

Is this the twist app?

Update: he came around :-) He's started to listen and learn.

Sometimes he's stubborn and I let him do it his way so he can see it will not work out, and after each of those lessons, he's more likely to listen to me without much arguing.

He's a smart kid... :-)

I use it to automatically deploy latest development branch to all of my staging servers whenever I push to the development branch on GitHub. To run tests, generate documentation, generate static pages, send me mails on errors in my apps, etc... It basically runs your code on your server(s). It's pretty versatile... Friend of mine uses it for home automation. He set up hooks that run code on his raspberry pi that can switch his lights on or off, set the temperature, open and shut the blinds etc... And built a simple web app as an interface to that so he can control them remotely.

@ghost1227 Thanks for the input!

@ghost1227 such as? I would love to improve it! :)

Haha, please, we had to implement table chunking to support 40.000 columns :-)

Looks like he's just inexperienced. Don't give up on him!

Next step: vim!

Update #2: The intern continued working on the project. He no longer has a problem with me being the authority, but he now sees this as a project set for him to "prove his skills" rather than an opportunity to learn.

@the0ne25 hahahaha

They grow up so fast...

@Letmecode In this whole situation the loss can only be on his side.

If he leaves, gets fired, or stays and learns some lessons, it won't affect my life, carreer or skills in any dramatic way.

I really wish all the best to the kid.

We have given him a second chance, so we'll see how it goes :-)

Duck typing

@yendenikhil My gut feeling is telling me that he'll come Monday morning to tell us he's quitting.

I think that he honestly believes that we are being unfair by giving him someone to mentor him.

He simply thinks he knows it all, and that he doesn't need someone to help him learn. :/

I'll keep you fellows posted :)

@popcorn yes

Of course, you have to maintain certain ratio of senior/medior/junior/intern people.

@yendenikhil exactly, also the most talented and experienced developers are almost always taken and are not interested in switching... So it's sort of better to invest into young talents and shape them up :)

@popcorn We sometimes hire young people like him to see if they have a good potential. Since they don't have a job, we can hire them and evaluate their performance, attitude, eagerness to learn and work, on a small project. We don't have much to lose as a company, but we can get a good employee in 2 years if the candidate is a good material.

He seemed like a good candidate on the first interview, he had side projects, good attitude and was willing to learn new technologies...

This is why sometimes interviews can't predict situations like these :(

Update #1:
Given his age we decided to give him a benefit of the doubt, so we'll try to continue the project we started, and see how it goes so we can evaluate his performance and see of there are any changes in the attitude.

Today, boss and I sat again with him, and the boss explained it to him that I am the guy calling the shots, and that he should listen and learn. He said he needed to hear that from the boss, and that everything is okay now.

If anyone is interested in further development of the situation, I'll keep you posted :)

As @beriba said. Hack it, don't over engineer stuff, no matter how ugly the code might look. Also try to make as many connections with experienced devs as possible. Learn and have fun! :)

@beriba yep.

@mantekillah yeah :( development requires patience, a lot of patience... And self discipline, motivating yourself to go through the boring parts to get to the good ones... It's part of the everyday routine...

@ImNotAlfred Ahh, English is not my native language. I did not mean it in a negative context of putting someone down, help me find a better word? :)
