Ideal outcome for a new engineering hire: shipping code by the end of their first day. - emphasizes culture of urgency & shipping - forcing function to improve documentation and dev tooling such that new eng’s can get onboarded quickly

Have you found #1 & #2 are semi-contradictory? In my experience (as a product person working closely with engineers), 10x engineers that meet the first criteria typically suck at writing documentation because they are bad at translating the code to words in self-service docs and/or bc they prioritize shipping over taking the time to write docs

I don’t think they’re contradictory. I think any good engineer should be able to write basic documentation on getting a dev environment set up; and I also think it’s a low effort task that wouldn’t consume much time from shipping
