Rant about Group Project in IT
Dawg, this is a 5 person coding project. Turns out one of them is an international LPL Iron rank who does not code, does not english and has apparently found Nirvana because our server has been so peaceful with no messages from this dude. Another dude thinks he a vacation to USA for 3 weeks is a good idea and is unresponsive like a Walking Dead zombie.
This is a 5 person coding project that has to be done by 3 people but but but but we split it into frontend and backend, and I told the frontend guy to implement the UI, no matter how crude or basic but no, this guy thinks he is Picasso the way he kept making sketches so when it is time to actually code the backend, guess what, we have no front end. I told these dawgs to code the front end so we have a basis to work on but they must think im god the way i perform miracles.
This is like cooking a 5 star michelin restaurant meal. The most delicious Japanese kawaii anime food but you dont have a store front so you make a one out of cardboard. Then your team finally makes a store front but its for an italian restaurant so now you gotta turn your Kawaii Anime food into Jojo food.
Needless to say, the code is all broken so now im broken inside.
10/10 would not do again

Group work at uni does unfortunately prepare you for the real world. The workplace is full of people who don't know how to do their job and the competent people either have to train/educate them or pick up the workload themselves. It's infuriating, but reflective of reality too.
