What it shows

  • Day 1 should focus on deterministic setup via Docker and single-command scripts.
  • A dedicated onboarding buddy answers unblocker questions without social friction.
  • Target a tiny, non-critical production commit within the engineer's first 72 hours.

The takeaway

Great onboarding optimizes for early psychological safety and immediate commit velocity.
