In general, the duties of a Front-End Developer are to ensure the website can be easily used by visitors. For that, they are in charge of several things, such as design, technology, and programming to code the appearance of the website, as well as handle the debugging process.
So, whatever is seen and used on the web, is the job of the front-end developer. That was Abam’s job as an front-end developer intern at Bukit Vista.
During the internship, Abam was entrusted with handling several projects. Each project certainly has different problems and difficulty characteristics. But all the projects carried out by Abam can be completed thanks to the guidance, cooperation, and core values that he applied in Bukit Vista.

From the various projects above and various problems that have been resolved as a front, what are the actual lessons learned from Abam during his internship as front-end developer intern at Bukit Vista? Come on, see more below.
What Can Be Learned?
1. Technical
Technically, Abam got a lot of lessons. While working on the project, Abam learned to implement what he had learned in college with real data. He learns about CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) using real data. For him it was a difficult lesson but fun to do.
I also learned about git version control, making a pull request, app versioning. In addition, Abam also understands new principles when working on projects as a front-end developer intern.
“ Don’t repeat Yourself and Keep It Simple”
For Abam, this principle plays a very important role because it can reduce the repetition of code and make work much more efficient, clean, and tidy.
2. Culture
During the internship, Abam learned how to adapt to a new culture. He learned to use digital tools, such as Trello, Coda, Google Calendar, and Slack which really helped him in managing all activities, reports, and forms of communication at work.
In addition, Abam also gained experience working remotely or WFH. For him working remotely is a new experience because he can work from home and be more effective.
3. Core Value
As we all know, core values are an important initial foundation for us. Without core values, there will be no strong motivation and desire to continue to innovate and play a better role in our work performance.
Core values are also something that Abam learned during his project work and managed to achieve satisfactory results.
First, Abam learned to always Fail Fast on every mistake he makes when facing a challenge. When he learns from these mistakes, then the challenges faced will be able to be skipped.
Second, Abam learned to Never Settle. never settling means not always staying at one point. Sometimes we need to always feel dissatisfied to be able to continue to make improvements and move towards something better.
Third, Abam learned to Be Transparent. Being transparent does not mean not having privacy, but having the courage to speak up about each other’s conditions and progress regarding work. If it’s in bad shape or having trouble, then say so. That way, teammates will fully trust us and work positively.
And the last lesson is To Help Others To Help Themselves. In working as a team, working collaboratively is very important. Helping each other will certainly make work more effective and optimal. We can evaluate each other, provide advice, or provide assistance as needed. If the work can be completed optimally, then the results will be achieved optimally.
Conclusion
Abam has learned a lot from his time as a front-end developer. Starting with the skills to solve problems, improve code, process data, and others.
Through core values, Abam also learns to work professionally and effectively so that his work performance always improves, as well as his own development.
Bukit Vista has helped Abam develop himself and his abilities significantly. Where the knowledge gained will later become a good bridge for him in working in the professional world.
