I recall meta expects new hires to do first commit the first day, not sure how its training will help in this scenario, this is in no way saying meta has no good training, it just does not add up here though.
- viraptor 3y agoWhat kind of commit though? We expect a first commit on the first day. The commit adds you to the maintainers list in readme and grants you some new roles after merging. It is not a "solve this user's issue" kind of commit.

Laptop, IDE, permissions to the hundred needed things, etc. Let alone opening up an unfamiliar codebase. Unless it is a “hello world” commit to confirm tooling is operational, I have strong doubts.

Laptop, IDE, permissions to the hundred needed things, etc. Let alone opening up an unfamiliar codebase. When I started at FB in 2013, I had all the laptop/permissions things done by end of the first day. At the time, the presumption was that you'd push a really small change by the end of the week, but all of the tasks available tended to be pretty easy (note I wasn't in eng then, so all my info is second hand here).
