Developer Onboarding
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
The process of helping new developers become productive and confident in a company, codebase, or platform. In engineering culture, good onboarding is a major signal that a team thinks systemically about learning and documentation.
In plain English: The process of helping new developers get up to speed.
Example: "Their developer onboarding improved once new hires got a realistic first task, a code buddy, and docs that matched the current repo instead of last year's architecture."
