Spend time talking to people, learning what the hard and hairy problems are. Playing with product and getting a feel for what customers experience. Dabbling in code, trying to make a mental architectural map and asking coworkers to validate assumptions. “What happens when someone does X?” questions. First week is lots and lots of asking noob questions and documenting them if it’s not already done.
