Community Voices

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • inherit undocumented code, unspoken decisions, and a codebase built by someone who had zero oversight
  • nobody wrote anything down
  • The first engineer owns decisions they never wrote down. Patterns, naming, architecture choices that exist only in their head.
  • The first hire is usually still deep in individual contributor mode. Now they have to onboard someone and they have never done that before.
  • treating onboarding as a product not an afterthought
  • the second person has to figure out what is going on without context
