Engineering Onboarding

After the general onboarding, an engineer's first week looks like this:

  1. GitHub. Send your username to the CTO for the cuesoftinc organisation invite.
  2. Read the standard. The published engineering standard governs every repo you will touch.
  3. Tracker. Get onto the board for your work — Linear for client engagements, GitHub Projects for the open-source products (see project management).
  4. First build. Clone your project, get it running locally, and fix whatever the README didn't warn you about — then send the README fix as your first PR.
  5. Read code review and, if you are joining a client engagement, client engagements.

Your first PR should land in week one. Small is fine; landed is the point.
