Too Long; Didn't Read
Oren Toledano is Co-Founder of Swimm and the former CEO of ITC.tech.com. He says it's a hard and long process to onboard a new dev team, and a new codebase. It takes time, a long time (we’ve heard from managers that in some cases it takes up to a year!), and it is...well, painful. We surveyed engineers in over 80 companies and quickly did the math: if you are an organization that onboards 100 developers a year and it takes an average of 4 months to onboard them, then as the engineering manager in charge of those developers, you’ll lose approximately 30 years of contribution.
