Second Month of Internship
How My Second Month of Internship Went
Give a summary of your accomplishments for the last month.
- Bug fixes
- Developed a feature to automate deletion of old files from the platform
- Investigated Jenkins scripts to fix pipelines
What knowledge/skills (both technical and non-technical) did you gain from the internship last month?
- Bash scripting
- Writing integration tests using mocks
- Developed a better understanding of Docker images and Kubernetes pods in the process of deployment
- Learning to communicate effectively with different stakeholders, including product owners and QA team etc. on the product requirements and specifications
What are the difficulties/challenges you faced during the past month, if any? How did you overcome (or plan to overcome) them?
- Had to look through long lists of logs to discover issues in Jenkins pipelines, slowly traced the logs back to the code and found the root issues.
- Clarifying the specifications for the new feature, there were many edge cases that had to be considered during development + unfamiliarity with the platform, which took some time for me to understand.
What do you plan to accomplish during the next month?
- Stick close to ticket deadlines, unless there are special circumstances.
- Write clean and reusable code, as the current code will very likely be reused in the future.
