Most interns don't. Most industry veterans don't either.
- throwawaygh 5y agoMost interns and industry veterans don't write wordpress plugins either ;-) The point is that you can learn enough of the basics to do useful things in 3 months with minimal prior experience. Working with petabytes of data isn't a "hard" problem like it was 10 years ago. IDK how large PACER is, and I'm not suggesting that an intern could implement a new system, but $x0,000,000 and a decade of lead time is at least an order of magnitude off.
