Onboarding

When developers are new to a project, they take time to get familiar with the codebase, the requirements, and team dynamics.

This process can be slowed or accelerated by certain factors, like tooling, experience, and leadership.

Onboarding can be frustrating for the new developer and the team. Things can take longer to get going, and the pressure to deliver can stress people out. Some of these feelings are internlized because we want to do a good job. Sometimes they are due to lofty expectations, or unforseen hurdles.
