Pair program with a few people half a day for a week or two, and you'll become productive both with codebase and with your team mates (as long as you didn't capture their keyboards). Spend rest of the day on everything else mentioned in @Jedi72's comments and get the larger context.
- maio 9y agoAgreed that pair programming is great to get productive ASAP. That's what I did in my current job. Instead of working on some minor things alone I asked my team-mate to pair with me on a task which was most important/valuable at the time. We spent few weeks working together on various things, and they were quite surprised that I was able to get up to speed so quickly. If you are fan of pair-programming this may be really good opportunity to introduce this technique to your new team. Since then, we use it whenever we feel it will help.
