FAST ONBOARDING
Onboard your first 5 engineers without being their guide.
They learn from the codebase, not your calendar.
Every new hire currently takes a week of your time. Architecture walkthroughs, "how does X work" sessions, debugging help. Let them learn from the code directly.
- New hires ask the bot, not you
- First PR in days, not weeks
- Your calendar stays open for building
