Yeah but at those internships you aren’t taught how to build quality software, just how to ship a SPA that connects to an API in 15 weeks (or you’re not hired).

It is a good peek into the professional software world though!
- bluGill 3y agoBefore you can write quality software you need to be able to write large software. Most interns I see are learning how to work on non-trivial programs as this is their first chance to see something non-trivial. Then they get a "real job" and are shoved into extremely large programs. Writing a thousand lines of bug free code isn't that hard, so the need for QA practices won't be apparent. Then you get the ten thousand line intern project and discover things are not always that easy. Then we throw you into a multi-million line project and good luck: you need a lot of that QA stuff to make it work.
