What is it like to Intern at Framebench?

Reflecting on my two months at Framebench, it's hard to contain the excitement and gratitude I feel. Not just because of the cool engineers and all the tech, but also for the unique and intense experience that made every second worthwhile. The internship was initially supposed to last for a month, but my initial well-intentioned one-month stay stretched into a fantastic two months—cooler than a finish on Game of Thrones!

The Principles of Hustling

Framebench taught me the art of hustle. Here are some key lessons that seeped through my ears and into my veins:

1. No One Cares About You

The most profound lesson was that nobody gives a shit about you and you are not entitled to anything. This harsh reality is a stark wake-up call for any intern. However, it also makes every moment of success all the more sweet.

2. Build Your Environment

When you enter a new workplace, it's up to you to make it your own. An environment where you are in control is not something handed to you; it's something you build from the ground up. At Framebench, there were no handouts. A hustler is someone who starts from nothing and makes it into something.

3. Flexible and Resourceful

Framebench believes in hustlers who can do any job. They don't care if you have the traditional skills or not; what matters is that you can get the job done. I was a civil engineer with no coding experience beyond 'Hello World,' and yet, I was tasked with creating a front-end in just six hours. It was a test, and I passed it.

4. Always Find a Solution

In

Framebench, problems are always seen as opportunities. They demonstrate that a hustler never stops trying to find a solution. When they said my market was too small, I internalized that message and went back to the drawing board. Months later, when they were acquired for triple-digit users, I realized that persistence and hard work often lead to success.

5. Convert Challenges into Success

Framebench taught me that a hustler can turn water into wine. When everyone thought my game idea was a pipe dream, we jumped on it. Months later, we had triple-digit users who were actually playing something I created. It's like winning the lottery, but by working hard.

6. Utilize Every Minute Efficiently

A hustler lives by the principle of making every moment count. There are exactly 10,080 minutes in a week, and a hustler ensures that every single one of those minutes is used to create a better future. At Framebench, we made sure our every second counted.

7. Hustle or Wait

The final lesson is that success is something an individual has to initiate. You may wait for opportunities, but only the hustlers get to harvest the fruits of their labor. Throughout the year, Framebench provided me with an incredibly diverse and enriching experience, from working for a billionaire to pitching to the biggest investors in the country.

Conclusion

Overall, my experience at Framebench was a roller coaster ride full of highs and lows. While the commute to Delhi in the summer can be challenging, the knowledge and skills I gained far outweigh the inconveniences. I would love to stay connected with Framebench and continue to be a part of their bustling ecosystem. Framebench made me a hackernews addict, and I await the Techcrunch party with bated breath.
