I had to work on a group project for a class in college.
One of the guys was really pushing for a very complicated project so we could put it on our resume.
No one wanted to do it, but eventually agreed to do it.
By the end, he didn't do anything, while the rest of us worked our asses off to fill up his work.
We ended up throwing him under the bus and with a really nice project on our resume.
What was the project?
@@BilalAhmed-ol3lw
It was a full stack cryptocurrency price tracker.
It let users create an account and add/remove things into a watchlist, which was displayed on their dashboard.
It wasn't awfully complicated, but it was way past the requirements and was a lot to get done in the 5 weeks we had to do it.
@@kigamezero8636 nice congrats!
my guy
@Justin batchelar hey! It definitely seems more daunting than it is. The course I took taught us the basic things we'd need to know to be able to collaborate with each other.
Since we were building a web app, we separated the work between front-end and back-end, and then assigned team members to each of those categories.
Before starting to code, you want to have a team meeting to discuss how the app will work so that each side has a basic idea of what they need to implement. Specifics can be discussed later on after you're deeper into development. For example, part of our app needed to get some info from the backed to be able to make some calculations. I knew they needed something, but didn't know what exactly, so I hopped on a call with them and went over what they needed and made sure that they were things that I was able to do.
To spread work among team members, you usually write things called "user stories", which, essentially, are descriptions [not exactly, but close. You should look into this if you're interested] of different features that need to be implemented. Each member can grab things from there and work on those. Because of this, you usually want to make your features as modular as possible. Things should not depend on each other in order to work so that they can be developed in parallel. And, in the case that some features depend on others, you will either start at the most basic ones or try to tackle them in one go if they're small enough. There is no set rule or anything like that. You just want to try to separate things to make it easier to work together.
Which brings me to my next point: there are programs that allow you to collab more easily with other people. The most popular one is Git (GitHub being my go to). Imagine something like Google Drive but for coding. You will have a version of your project in the cloud, called a repo (short for repository), that every team member can access and download. After you make your change, you send those changes to the repo so that they can be seen by the rest of your team. There are also some standards about how this is done, but you'll learn those later on.
I think the most confusing part is getting the project started. Usually, the person who creates the repo also sets up the very basic structure of the project so that the rest of the team can start working. This is something that starts making more sense the more times you do it. The first time I worked with other people, we had everything all over the place lol.
I know it sounds like a lot, but you'll start getting the hang of it as time goes on. The name of the class I took was "Intro to Software Engineering." I think all [or at least most] universities have some equivalent for it.
As a person who is actually learning coding he's kinda inspiring
Which college
The pokemon shiny
Don't worry, if everything falls apart, just use bootstrap to STRAP everything together!
Fear of embarrassment is not a reason to give up on something you want....this is AWESOME advice!!!!
I just finished my 2nd semester in Bachelors of CS. And I'm always stressing that I know nothing. Nothing at all. Even tho we haven't studied data structures yet. I'm not even motivated enough to practice code and then I feel so guilty and then no one's gonna employ me. I know internet is fake but watching everyone so organized and excelling in CS. I feel like no one's gonna employ me. Like wtf??? Anyone else??
Your problem is a psychological one. Focus your efforts on that side :)
I used to feel same way when I started CS, just relax. In some course you will find language or framework that suits you and then everything will change. For me that was C in my 3rd semester and that was moment when I really started to get into programming, before that I just asked my self "wtf am I doing here, this is bs". And in my 5th semester I got my first job in a small company working as embedded developer. When I left that company I wasn't able to find a job as an embedded developer but "when you learn one language you learn them all", so now I'm Java developer for last 2 years. Tldr: don't give up and everything will work out. I know a lot of people who didn't do well in college and now are solid developers
I remember back in elementary all the way up to highschool about how some kids cant understand/fails to understand math no matter how hard they try, like anything related to math (formulas, algebras, etc),. As someone who is pretty good at math (not flexing) i never understood how they fail to understand math.. well that is until i majored CS, and i can completely understand how they feel now. I genuinely regret this decision so much, i feel so useless for being so confused and not getting the slightest idea about what im learning, not to mention the anxiety of the fact that what's going to be my job or something like that. I think i understand how you feel dude. For me, my coping method is knowing the fact that life is unexpectable and maybe i ll still get a job somehow. Goodluck to you and all CS major out there✊
@@cabezaotomi I absolutely agree! I should know that I just started and I'm on a learning phase and I'll actually start knowing things by being practical and after having some internships. But still the feeling won't go away. And always thinking about changing major but there's difficulty in every field.
@@alientata it really helped me. Whenever I get stressed about it, I try to find someone who has passed this stage to assure me. Thanks alot.
Marvel needs to hire this guy to write their after credit scenes
I didn’t know I needed a virtual friend like you to guide me in the process but thank god I found you! I FEEL YOU BRO, EVERY word you say.
- your fellow software developer!
In my first internship, we had teams like front-end, backend, content creators, algo team, ui team and others. We had a scrum call every day to check progress and main call every Wednesday. I learned alot
Wooh looks like you were in a good one
In which year you got your 1st internship?
@@tanmaysrivastava849 I got in 3rd year had been slacking for first two years
@@tanmaysrivastava849 haven't been using linkedin for a while it's now full of so called influencers 😂 way less job opportunities over there and more Bs. What guidance exactly? Apply for internships on several platforms you might get into one. Apply in 100 and you'll get 10 response atleast
@@tanmaysrivastava849 If you are a Indian try Internshala also Sparks foundation is also decent try them
This guy is really going to go places with his TH-cam channel
Congrats on sticking with programming! Finishing up my last semester of undergrad in computer science this August. One piece of advice I can give to people navigating the degree is to try an industry internship AND a research internship. Working for a government lab rn doing research in augmented reality. It’s SUPER different from an industry job, and while I don’t like it as much I certainly recommend it to anyone in the field.
What's a good way to find research internships?
Back end front end explanation was hilarious. Subbed immediately!
His voice is pretty soothing
That last skit was amazing dude, keep it up!
I was condemned, not to do internships in my bachelor's, but I dared my principal and have done 3 internships in summer terms, where I asked every possible dumb question in every internship I did, and I learned a lot from them! Currently I am working as a full-time SWE and even now, I never feel shy to ask any dumb question because I accept that there is a lot to learn...
You are a legend…it would be really nice learning coding concepts from you, you make learning them easy and fun
I found you yesterday and im already hooked ur content is awesome
u r not alone
I kept refreshing my TH-cam waiting for this video! Cannot thank you enough!
I even found this video helpful while looking for another full time job! So lucky that I was recommended by YT to watch your videos. I was sad after failing coding interviews… Your honest experience sharing and funny videos are inspiring me.
There were high school students doing the leetcode questions much better than me. But that does not mean I am loser… And its okay that I don’t enjoy leetcode. Thanks.
Hey man. Thank you for what you are doing. You actually inspired me to continue my education. Idk how u did that, but u did. Thank you
He gives me motivation to learn more about programming. He is an awesome guy, thanks a lot for it. I checked if I was a subscriber and noticed that I was shy🤣 I subscribed 🥳
Your editing skills are on another level 🔥
Hey man, I just want to say thanks for making your videos they were helping me a lot, principally with English idiom (as you can see I have to be better in the script). I am from brazil and here is very hard found so quality videos like yours, so congratulations
As the 2nd year student, I definitely hope you can share our what knowledge have you got before your first intern !!!
Subscribed btw.
My 1st internship as a Jr Web Developer in a handful of sentences
Random Employee: Can you fix the printer?
Random Employee: This spreadsheet isn't working the way I want it too.
Random Employee: Can you make the internet go faster?
Lmao😂
bruh moment
can you clean my computer virus?
Can you do my work?
Go to their computer and download a virus
Damn you’re hilarious and seem like an actually decent person
nice I fooled you into thinking I'm a decent person
Like what kind of compliment is this
@@master-ik9ro A backhanded one
@@master-ik9ro I just meant compared to a lotta other tech TH-camrs lol
@Hand Grabbing Fruits sus
I love you man for real thanks for making this.
The ending was amazing dude
love the vids man ,i'm just starting to learn computer science and languages and your vids are definitely are great motivation for me.
Love ur humor and your helping me a lot :)
oh this guy is just amazing
I just loved his humor and everything
In the beginning, your CV was impressive to me. Hope you good health in 2023 bro.
Love your content man🙌🏼
Pan is Joma but got his own brand of humour.
@@vinzcalaguas9683 there's indian too... but they are not in english
@@vinzcalaguas9683 I guess coz we asian just study CS and than while in job we do other stuff all day XD (By other stuff I mean TH-cam and other passive income stuff)
Tren Black over Joma
Isn't Joma from Montreal too???
@@barryma7065 holy shit yeah!
Finally a realistic CS student ☺ I'm a transfer too and I feel so behind 🥺 I'm taking discrete in the fall, so scared 😨
When I saw Westmount, I was like wait a minute, is he in Montreal?! Confirmed it when I saw your resume! I started software engineering last year and I have my first internship this fall. By the way great content, I will follow your work!
The last scene was LIT🔥
Well, I skipped the part with internships and landed my first developer job this week :)
This feeling is so awkward when you need to ask like 10 dumb questions to understand how to even start doing some task on new technology, but you are so stressed that you can theoretically be fired for not knowing anything about it :))
P.S.
Frying Pan - you have top content! Good luck to you!
You wil learn alot, good luck in the journey!
omg i'm experencing this stressing period now where everyone is lterally making 10 apis a week and i'm still asking for help to solve errors in one api I have been given T_T
@@SM-om6tw what kindof work with api? Like creating the whole thing with ORM and auth? That's tedious
@@RyanKOnk yeah hopefully we can pass through this and get a job 🤣 but let's keep in mind we are learning and not stress about not knowing everything
Ayo same here ✋ literally gonna start work from next week
Never seen an outro like this! Put a smile on my face..haha
1;;;; such a genuine and funny TH-camr, you are very easy to relate to I'm glad I came across your channel!
Hey man love your videos!! Keep it up!!
when you comment a generic comment for a like :)
Why would you like my comment when it’s a contradiction to what you said, your soft reply looks stupid asf 💀

His contents are really good... Man i love it
I'm glad that I decided to subscribe to you when I saw that interview video. I'm about to go into my first year of CS and you're both funny and informative. Thanks for being you.
All the best for the 2nd internship !!
When I first searched for tech videos, I was serious. Now, that I found you, I am laughing all the way!! This is mostly comedy + some info included. You are too good. 😂🖐️
babe wake up daddy pan uploaded 😩
subscribing after seeing that last part. that look smooth but little hard to pull off. Nice work. keep it up
I just found you today and maaan you're good. You're quite relatable.❤
Loving the humor 😂😂
Your voice is so soothing and you are funny AF
Love from india
You are my favorite youtuber from today
I can't believe i sticked around for the ending lol. Great video. You earned a sub.
I wish you had started your channel alot earlier. So that I'll have so many videos to binge watch but now I gotta wait for it. T_T
Haven't seen someone do it yet and since it seems you put a lot of work in the end: 1 😂
Liked & subscribed for the humour.
Looking forward to my first internship hope it’s in IT support because I enjoy networking more that programming.
Yoo your content it just 🔥
Keep them coming
2:53 I like how all of the usernames are some kind of kitchen utensils
Your content is so good! When and how did you learn video editing?
Been making videos since I was 8 years old, mostly gaming and skits. They never really hit off, but I learned editing through those:)
You’re funny.
Thanks for posting this!
Bro, You are doing the Gods work!🙆🏿♂️
You have such an animé protagonist laugh. Your head falls forward whenever you laugh. I love it. So cute.
😃😬
I have a dumb question as well. Are you getting paid for those internships or is it just to “feel” the actual production process?
(I’m not from US/Canada)
If you look on indeed, you can see for yourself. Paid internships, say paid. Most internships are paid at least by big companies.
Yup, getting paid! I think most software engineering internships in the US/Canada are paid
If you aren't paid just don't do it
always do internships that pay, in germany for example lots of companies do not pay but fuck those, have some requirements yourself and one must include decent pay
Yeah, I think I'm seeing a big channel in the making here, awesome vid
very motivating man. thanks for the tips. Your editing is great. I loved the end about promoting yourself ha. Just started to watch your videos starting with more recent. Stoked to check out some of your journey. Congrats on the job .
I’m 15 and I’m about to finish the CS50 course, any advice and any recommendations on new courses?
That time complexity I can relate 😂😂
You are great !!! Thanks for refreshing me !
Good explanation for back end and front end, accurate and simple..

Yo, keep up the good content
did you go to school in person or online?
Sup dud1e.
Pretty insane resume for your first intern. Just curious, how confident were you in your coding skills when you started applying for internships?
I’ve learned Python, Java, and data structure/algorithms from school but I am not confident in my coding skills. Aside from the school projects I did, I plan to create my own projects and then start applying for internships right away.
I wasn't confident at all, don't be afraid and just keep practicing and learning, then applying here and there, if u bomb the interview then u bomb it, move on to the next one and keep repeating this process
your videos inspire a lot.
brabo de mais 👌😎
thanks for even showing us your resume!
The ending of this video is freaking hilarious lol
Me : Finally learned to print "Hello World"
One of my youngest bro:
Tech + humor = *chef's kiss*

Thanks a lot for all the explanation, and I decide to subscribe
"C hashtag". This is probably going to become the trademark of your channel!
hey, i would love to learn coding from you with that humor. U sell any courses or teach?
r u in btech?
Thanks, but I don't sell any courses:)
what I have been thinking about internships has been changed thanks that was very helpful
how good and hilarious this man is !
3:52 Imagine on the interview you get the question "What is polymorphism?" and you just (with sleigh of hands, magic trick style, out of your deck) flick that card onto the table and say "It's right there in the cards description" lmao
Also, first time I've ever seen anyone do that kind of self promotion ending, hilarious xD
i am in my last of my school how can i get into coding and which language should i learn?
You can choose If you wanna be a front-end dev (HTML 5, CSS, JS) or a back-end dev (typescript, node).
You want to find out what you want to do with coding first, then you'll know which language you should learn
Python or C is a solid start .. c is kind hard for beginners though 😕 I started with python and am going to be a freshmen in CS next year
@@electric_deer2007 thnx :)
It's fun and educational at the same time!
Loved your video 💓
Looks like JOMA time traveled to the past to tell his younger self to open up a TH-cam channel while in college. Do you know Joma personally by any chance??
I don't know Joma personally, but we are from the same city coincidentally. I'll meet him one day:)

@@hosea_br sure..But I find Pan more relatable
this comment 100%, he behaves exactly like I expect Joma would behave if he was younger lol.

Dude, you make me feel less worried about my future with CS. Legit.
You are hilarious bro, love the videos and appreciate the advice #subscribed
Really really nice content lol. Love your videos buddy.
Ok dude, your humor got yourself a sub
IM IN LOVE WITH UR VOICE
Hahaha omg, subbed. Love your videos!
You're so funny, I died at the OF mention 😂😂
I definitely subscribed after hearing your "please, I'm begging" lol
I just subscribed to ur channel and i was shocked to see u only have like 12 videos 😭😭😭 already watched all of them and i want mooore so pleaase keep making videos xD ur hilarious and u really motivated me to work harder on my CS skills so thank u for that
Omo, you are giving me this Ryan Higa vibes! ✨✨
this is my favorite coding youtube channel
You're the best dude 🌟
no u're the best
Damn you are hilarious .. Currently am working on Frontend development and I need your confidence:)
i'm doing my first internship now and i'm scared to ask dumb things but this video motivates me. thanks!!
I'm Management Student, I don't know what all technology he is talking about but I just love listening to him without any reason. At the last part was just amazing. Much appreciation to you brother! 💯
He is so funny hahaha
I am going to Canada Study management (already done in my country half the course) any tips on jobs i can seek and easy entry for foreign students? Any job in the field might be ok i have experience in floor management and excel/vba/powerbi stuff. And a little coding that i am learning more until i go there.
