[–] Zos_Kia@jlai.lu 2 points 5 months ago (2 children) As if a 90$/month intern wasn't a good deal lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 child) You don't hire interns for productivity. If you're intern program is any good it's a time/resource sink. However, it's a good recruiting pipeline and provides young people an opportunity to get real world experience. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Zos_Kia@jlai.lu 1 point 5 months ago You don’t hire interns for productivity Because it's unethical. I've been in business for 10+ years but i never hired an intern because i don't find it fair to make someone work for less than minimum wage, and i don't have the structure required to really teach them anything. I have bad fundamentals and only ever learnt by doing, so having an intern while it may help me wouldn't really help them and that's not a deal i'm willing to make. Probably why i'm not super successful lol That being said, i don't see any problem with making a GPU cry somewhere in California for my menial tasks. And it's tremendously effective too, for a hundred bucks a month i get a lot of shit done that would take me ages. I don't give it access to anything critical so it can't fuck my shit up and i come out on top as long as the tokens are subsidized by dumb VC money. permalink fedilink source parent
