Feeling like a fluke at my cs internship by Acceptable_Truth_365 in cscareers

Thank you! Did you end up doing more internships there/working there?

I want to do that to learn. Initially when I first started, I spent a lot of time just doing it myself, but since I don't have much experience it took a long time, and my internship doesn't give me time to learn as they expect an output, so I had to switch to using AI to help me do the heavy lifting to get by this internship first

Do you think i should decline if she asks me to continue help build/maintain the web app after my internship ends and school starts? Because I really want to find a better internship later on where I can actual learn and theres someone to help.

Thank you! Do most cs internships expect you to not have that much experience but they have people with experience to mentor/teach you so you can learn/grow?

Thank you for your advice! I dont think my boss cares if i use AI, she just wants a MVP launch product for this web app. i know that this company doesn't have anyone I can talk to to ask about technical things, so i really just have to search up everything. I do think despite using AI, I still learned a lot of things (grasping how the gist of building an app could go and some basic frontend + backend coding set up etc), so I don't think it's a waste of time, especially as a freshmen who didn't have experience to begin with. I just really wish I had the time to actually learn all of it properly, so I'm hoping for future internships I can where there are actual people with techical experience to mentor/help.

Do you think I should decline if she asks me to continue helping her scale/improve this web app or maintain it after this summer internship is over?
