Who would willingly use PyCharm? :picard:
Because I program in Python and it’s a widely used and acclaimed IDE among python users...
:ld:
Also...being that it was developed around Python... “it just works”. No having to fukk around with add-ons and shyt.

Ultimately I went with VS Code. Lighter, quicker, and more versatile with regard to programming in other languages. Oh and it’s free
:ehh:

In my 6 years of coding in Python I have never met someone who uses PyCharm. Its bloated, slow and sluggish. You did yourself a favour switching to VSCODE, although I still consider it not-so-light. But then again, im all about lightweight tools and even my OS is full of lightweight software :yeshrug:

I managed to cobble together a Python script that pulls a list of issues from Jira. I need to add to it though. Right now, it only pulls from one project instead of all of them in the account.

This is something I put together for work. I really need more practice working with APIs though.

I'm going to start applying for internships, any tips of what I should have or put on my resume? What I should brush up on? Data Structures and Algo's are obvious.

I'm not going to divulge my information here, so general tips are more helpful than specific ones. Just started my 3rd year as a CS student, can code in C, C++ and Java, I'm picking up Python now on Coursera. I'm going to go hard on Leetcode and HackerRank in between and after classes.

Any projects you've worked on outside of class is always good. Link your GitHub. It's ok to include non technical employment.

That's a relief because my only actual work history is non-technical employment.
Some of the requirements seem daunting and I'm lowkey suffering from imposter syndrome but fukk it, worst that can be said is no.

Thanks breh.

Ignore requirements and apply anyway. Like you said, worst they can tell you is no. Everybody has imposter syndrome and the reality is, most people kinda suck at their jobs. Show the slightest bit of proficiency and willingness to learn, and you'll be better than the bulk of your peers. They're not going to expect you to know a lot as an intern so don't feel you have to.

I'm stuck again. I hate this shyt.
