What Meetings Sound Like to Interns

Just shipped this new video and I think it's gonna be a huge win for us in Q5. Let's circle back on this to unpack our key learnings and touch base on any action items with our cross-functional stakeholders. Aligned?

You probably know Redis as a blazing in-memory database, but can it also be used as your primary app database and a real-time data platform. For example, with Redis Enterprise you can use streams for collecting real-time data, RedisJSON for storage, RediSearch for indexing and searching, RedisTimeSeries for analysis, and so on, all in a single system. So you not only get a blazing fast database, but a simple system to manage. Check it out.

I’m gonna put a pin in this comment so I can circle back on it later

[ydnftbhdy]

This was very accurate because I zoned out listening to it just like I would in an actual meeting.

[vineethsai]

I'm a Senior software engineer and switched companies recently. I swear the meeting I just got off from now sounded just like this!

[tallergeese]

The least realistic part of this was the intern suggesting they change out their whole tech stack on his first day and not being laughed out of the room.

[lalala-ltfe]

I'm a senior SE and I've never heard other engineers talk like this but this is exactly how I feel when the PowerPoint Dudes invite us to a meeting or the CEO makes an announcement.

[willyfistergash]

This is so spot on. Each day I am at work I realize more and more how many people have no clue what they are doing and they all throw around their fancy "buzz" words. I feel like everyone is playing a big game of pretend for their paychecks.

Congratulations on gaining traction on your out-of-the-box videos, and for scaling your channel to 100K subscribers!! Can’t wait to see more distributive, game changing, buzzworthy deliverables in the future - your videos are certainly a value-add to my day 📈

[dj__vic]

Can we talk about the fact that he thought you needed to physically stand up for a stand up meeting 😂

Edit because everyone is silly: Guess what guys, he’s at home in this video. That’s why it’s funny his character stood up for the stand-up meeting. Yes of course you would probably stand up if you were in the office for a stand-up meeting. It’s really cool that I have to say this 👍🏻

[FryingPan]

Accurate. I relate to the senior engineer guy.

[sipp]

The longer this went the wilder it got and the less it made sense 🤣🤣excellent! Also love how he used such abstract words and analogies to symbolise how some tech bros and people be talking so high for such simple meanings or matters.

[GuiriTV]

Im not even a software intern, just a regular junior software engineer that migrated from a computer hardware career to a computer software one, and this is accurate to a big organization; even after my boss gave me a few topics to research, the infrastructure itself is so complex, that knowing the basics of the tools we use AND how they are used is still not enough. Glad they understand it will take me months, if not a whole year to catch up and consistently contribute to projects with minimal mistakes and help.

So imagine me being an intern, but I don't even know how to develop an API or plan the schema for and database. Just learned those today. Thanks Google.

[Fredman]

From my experience, people who talk like this in meetings, dont really do anything and are really bad at their job. otherwise they wouldn't need to. It breeds a culture of minimalism.

The smartest people I've ever dealt with throughout my past 20 years were always very clear, direct, and as succinct as possible.

[henrysmith]

100% accurate.

What's even scarier is the first moment when you say something relevant and you're more surprised than anyone else.

[lucmakelele]

Not gonna lie, I would straight up quit if this is how they speak 😂😂😂 I'm a simple guy that uses simple code, I'm a "pretend you're talkig to a five year old" kinda guy 😂😂😂 jargons man

[Robin_Goodfellow]

Honestly one of the most frightening things about going into software development was I didn't understand a lot of the terms, which made me doubt my own ability, even though they were all for concepts I either already knew or could grasp easily.

[roardinoson]

I'm not even in the tech field, but this video was SO accurate to my experience as an intern! 🤣Well done Nick!

[euphoric]

Just joined my first company as an intern 3 weeks ago and it just so relatable.
Thanks for putting this out as i thought i am dumb for not understanding what they are talking about.

[bobbyhutter]

last week was my first week as a newly hired QA engineer; i spend a GOOD amount of time in the Zoom chat asking for acronym definitions. oddly enough the 'explainer' meetings with my boss are a lot faster thus harder to follow than my team's stand ups / stand downs. i cackled at the descending standing desk, best ad placement ever, 'no blockers.'

[MiSt]

That is so SPOT ON! I have just completed my first week as an intern and oh boy I feel it!
I am so happy though, for two years now I've been waiting for this moment!

[peteypete]

As key team member who's involved in many meetings like this one, it's crazy how a bunch of jargon actually sounds soo coherent and simple once you're used to it and you're really involved in all the moving parts. Feels good man. Im sure every intern will reach this stage soon enough.
