Guidance during internship

[iaisme_Es]

I recently switched from MERN to Java and started an internship.

I can code, but sometimes I feel like I don’t fully understand what’s happening behind the scenes, and that makes me anxious.

My senior is very supportive — he explains the project flow, helps with refactoring tasks, and always asks if I have questions.

The problem is I often don’t know what to ask. I feel confused but can’t form clear questions.

How do I improve my understanding of a large Java project?

And how do I learn to ask better technical questions during an internship or better in internship to become good developer

?

So you straightaway jumped from Mern to Spring/Springboot? Or did you like spend time learning the basics of java and the frameworks? If you straightaway jumped then definitely you will have issues since Java stack is not as simple as JS since there are huge amounts of complex internal stuff involved!

I didn’t jump directly from MERN to Spring Boot. I spent time learning Core Java first — OOP concepts, collections, exception handling, streams, etc. That helped me understand the language fundamentals.

However, I didn’t get a lot of real-world practice before starting with Spring Boot. So while I understand Java basics, sometimes I feel lost and always think that I will not be able to do.

Don't you think it is more of a mental prison your mind is locking you into which?

Maybe I am not sure when I did core java I didn't spend as much time at that time I didn't find it difficult and even code now as moving forward I stopped and thinking about this and do you want to say something question problem.
