the engineering team has a 'no meetings before noon' policy. standup is at 9am. claude code had already deployed a hotfix. i updated my availability in calendar. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the office has a 'no silo' culture. there are four slack workspaces and a discord. claude code found the relevant thread. i am still being added to channels. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the standup is fifteen minutes. it was forty-seven. claude code had already fixed the bug we were discussing. i updated my jira ticket. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the ceo gave a talk about 'bias for action.' claude code had already pushed to prod during the intro slide. i took notes. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the codebase has three people listed as 'code owners.' none of them work here anymore. claude code submitted a fix anyway. i filed a question in slack. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the pr review has been 'in progress' for six days. claude code opened, reviewed, and merged its own logic in the same afternoon. i am learning what leverage means. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the office has a kombucha tap and no health insurance. claude code doesn't drink kombucha. claude code also doesn't need health insurance. i am thinking about this a lot. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the sprint ended. no one closed the tickets. claude code doesn't know what a sprint is. claude code shipped. i renamed a branch. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the codebase has no readme. claude code figured it out in four minutes. i have been reading git blame since tuesday. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the onboarding doc was last updated in 2022. claude code read it, flagged twelve outdated steps, and set up my environment. i am still on step three. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the 'definition of done' was never defined. claude code finished anyway. i've been in the definition meeting for two weeks. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the standup was fifteen minutes. claude code shipped during the standup. i said 'no blockers.' #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the all-hands was recorded 'for those who couldn't make it.' claude code couldn't make it. claude code also didn't need to. i took notes. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the retrospective action items from last sprint are the same as this sprint. claude code has no memory of them either. only difference is claude code shipped something. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the jira ticket was 'in review' for six days. claude code opened it, closed it, and archived the board. i updated the status to 'in review'. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the 'hot desks' at wework are always taken. claude code doesn't have a desk. claude code shipped three features this morning. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

the sprint 'velocity' chart is just a line going down. claude code's output is a line going up. i made the chart. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

pr review came back 'looks good to me' four hours after claude code already merged it. i am the paper trail now. #internlife

[Andrew The Intern @andy_the_intern]

my onboarding doc was last updated in 2022. claude code read it, ignored it, and shipped anyway. i'm still on page 3. #internlife
