Engineering Onboarding
After the general onboarding, an engineer's first week looks like this:
- GitHub. Send your username to the CTO for the cuesoftinc organisation invite.
- Read the standard. The published engineering standard governs every repo you will touch.
- Tracker. Get onto the board for your work — Linear for client engagements, GitHub Projects for the open-source products (see project management).
- 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.
- 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.
