"get you 80% of the way there in half the time."
From my experience they don't. Either it gets thrown away or the cleanup requires as much or more even more work than if experienced people had done it from scratch.
Edit: I am not saying there is no value in work from newcomers but I think it's often overrated. They usually do the easy part but finishing it takes much more work than people think.
- guntars 7y agoAgreed, interns are extremely expensive and anyone who thinks that they are cheap labor is not aware of the day to day details. Only reason to ever have interns is if you want to give back to the community and grow your senior talent. You might end up with some loyal developers that know your stack, but I wouldn't bank on it. They certainly have no place in an early stage startup.
