As I start brainstorming ideas for my next conference talk, I'm reminded of my first talk at a big event. I was an intern, and thought, "What better topic to choose than that?"
As an intern I'd broken auth servers, built microservices, and learned DevOps principles and CI/CD tools. Since I was still in university, I felt deeply the dissonance between the two settings. On one hand, I was using cutting-edge industry tech. On the other hand, I was being told agile development methods were terrible and we all should only use waterfall ever.
"Don't Break Your Intern!" came from joining the tech industry and feeling incredibly lost. Presented at 2018 devopsdays Minneapolis.
