Onboarding
Your first two weeks.
Week one
- Collect your laptop from IT. It comes pre-imaged; do not reinstall the OS.
- Accept the invitations to GitHub, the issue tracker, and the paging rotation tool.
- Clone
eng/monorepoand runmake bootstrap. Expect fifteen minutes. - Read the deployment doc end to end. You will be asked about it.
- Pair with your onboarding buddy on one small, real change and ship it.
Week two
- Shadow one on-call shift. You are not paged; you watch how pages are handled.
- Pick up a starter ticket from the
good-first-issuelabel. - Present a five-minute "what confused me" retro to your team. This feeds back into the handbook.
Dev environment
make bootstrap # installs toolchain, pulls simulator assets (~4 GB) make sim # starts the warehouse simulator on :8080 make test # unit + sim smoke tests, ~6 min make lint
The simulator needs 16 GB of RAM. If your laptop has less, use the shared sim cluster; ask in
#eng-platform.
