> That’s the problem: it’s a _terrible_ intern. A good intern will ask clarifying questions, tell me “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure I did it right”.

An intern that grew up in a different culture then, where questioning your boss is frowned upon. The point is that the way to instruct this intern is to front-load your description of the problem with as much detail as possible to reduce ambiguity.
