Ned BatchelderDo you have interns at work this summer? They may find this helpful (created by a summer intern at edX a few years ago):
Diabolic Preacher@nedbat i even turned the volume all the way up. this is the first time this meme sounded gentle.
Jennifer Konikowski@nedbat I had this exact exchange with my intern last summer. They finally got it and were incredible 🥰
Andrew Perfors@nedbat I need to share this with all of my honours and PhD students too!
Kip Manley@nedbat As a manager of interns, oof.

Clockwork ☃️✒️I wish someone had sent me this at my first year of PhD 😭
A. Jesse Jiryu Davis@nedbat Amen, this, +1, hear hear, all the affirmative phrases!
sashk 🇺🇦@nedbat i recently started new job. I feel like intern, but have to chase everyone to get better understanding of the very old and very complex system. Nobody knows anything, from what it seems some things works, but some are broken for months. Near zero docs, zero tests.
I recall myself, when new dev joined the team at previous job: I spent days explaining and showing how things work. And I always felt, that I missed something.
steeznson@nedbat Least disruptive intern
Ludovic Archivist Lagouardette@nedbat I have students, and those little gremlins are like that too, or sometimes they are in learned helplessness, it depends
