Ask HN: How Long Is Reasonable Onboarding?
I've recently joined a team as a junior/intermediate after years of working solo and I'm not extremely confident in how quickly I'm learning/becoming productive.
In your experience how long is reasonable for a web developer working on an inherited suite of applications to become productive in a React and Laravel environment?

- davismwfl 7y agoProject complexity, project maturity and size will have significant impacts. As well your experience and the teams maturity and makeup will all have considerable influence. In general, assuming a decent size and moderately mature project I’d say after 2 weeks you should grasp the high level code base and be able to make small updates/fixes. After 30 days you should be able to do most work on your own with your questions going down. Now, a very immature project (and/or team) or super complex project could take 1-3 months to reach the same state.
