Confluence, or a similar private wiki is a good idea. As you work, write down steps to do things that were essential to doing part of your work, or things that you will need to repeat often.
E.g. Create tutorials on setting up a development environment, installing dependencies, compiling modules, running tests, creating new components. Write descriptions at a high level of the system, make diagrams of complex message exchanges. Write down best practices, or paste boiler plate code for doing specific useful things.
- ketzo 7y ago+1. Atlassian tools catch some flack (for good reason), but I worked at a company where anytime someone had a question that their immediate neighbor couldn’t answer, the response was “try checking Confluence, I usually find stuff there”. It made my onboarding SUPER easy because I could basically Wikipedia every internal process/setup/best practice. Awesome feeling.
