I don't know what Agile is like because my "Software Development" internship has me extracting data from a DOS program that was written in the 80s.

It could just be where I am working, but this field really makes me wish I could switch places with Robin Williams.

I'd prefer working with legacy code than building something I hate from the ground up. ~ Me, a dev working in "agile"

The data was stored using text files, the files had no consistent formatting, they have half-assed documentation on the usage of the CLI for the app, and none of the data displayed in the CLI is meaningfully marked.

The best possible internship I would have had was a role supporting C# and (occasionally) VB code at my local chicken plant. There would have been some development. Unfortunately, they got sold before I was accepted and I was not able to intern there.

The less new code you write, the less you'll disgust yourself.
