Maybe. I think there is much to be said for being able to just walk down the hall with your laptop and debug everything in person with someone who knows what they are doing. I didn't know much before that internship about software development and I learnt a ton about the whole field just watching other people. It's why I use emacs nowadays at a more than beginner level.

Again, if the intern is competent, then they aren't really an intern anymore. Just kind of a part time worker more likely to be hired in the future.
