My Intern Handing In Perfectly Formatted And Commented Code

My Intern Handing In Perfectly Formatted And Commented Code
You know something's off when an intern submits code that's too clean. Beautiful formatting? Check. Meaningful comments? Check. Zero technical debt? Red flag. After years of reviewing pull requests that look like they were written during a caffeine-fueled 3 AM panic attack, you develop a sixth sense for suspiciously perfect code. Either they copied it from somewhere, they're secretly a 10x engineer slumming it as an intern, or—most likely—they spent 80% of their time making it pretty instead of actually solving the problem. The interrogation begins: "So... walk me through your thought process here." Translation: "Please tell me you actually understand what you wrote."

Something's Definitely Up

Something's Definitely Up
That suspicious side-eye moment when your coworker who normally submits PRs titled "fixed stuff" with zero comments suddenly delivers a masterpiece of documentation. Either they've been replaced by an AI, they're interviewing elsewhere, or management finally threatened to fire them. Nobody transforms into a model contributor overnight without ulterior motives. Trust issues activated.

Your Code Runs At First Try

Your Code Runs At First Try
The suspicious stare that says "I don't trust code that works on the first try." Ten years in the trenches teaches you that immediate success is the most terrifying outcome possible. No errors? No warnings? Something is definitely wrong. The universe doesn't just hand out compiler blessings like that without planning some catastrophic runtime surprise later. The real debugging starts after your code works perfectly. That's when you frantically add console logs everywhere because silent success is far more concerning than a stack trace that at least has the decency to tell you what you broke.
