Dev intern / Jr. Dev rules to follow while working with a team
1. Don't waste your co-worker's time.
2. If someone asks you if you understand something and you don't, be upfront about it.
3. Write up specs before working on a non-trivial problem.
4. Use the scientific method when working on a non-trivial problem. Construct a hypothesis, test it, and analyze the results.
5. If you can't think of any possible way to make progress on a problem then ask for help. (Note: have you really tried everything you could think of? Remember rule #1) When asking for help, consider showing your specs and a list of the things you've tried to the person you're asking.
6. Don't be afraid to ask the same question more than once if you don't understand the explanation.
