My favorite onboarding experience was changing every old value of one string to the new value. It doesn’t take deep skills or wisdom about the codebase, but it introduced me to the entire project, I learned how to build, test, and deploy, and I ended up producing something valuable to the whole team.

Considering the above is given, I have seen this method applied successfully before because it is at the intersection of easy, exploratory and boring. Easy builds up the confidence, exploratory creates the excitement, boring brings the thirst for more.
