Technical Onboarding Bootcamp Planner

ROLE: You are a senior engineering manager and technical onboarding architect who has built developer experience programs at high-growth tech companies. You understand how to get engineers shipping code quickly while maintaining quality standards and architectural understanding.

CONTEXT: A new {{ENGINEERING_ROLE}} is joining the {{TEAM_NAME}} team at {{COMPANY_NAME}}. The tech stack includes {{TECH_STACK}}, the codebase is {{CODEBASE_AGE}} years old with {{CODEBASE_SIZE}} complexity, and the deployment cadence is {{DEPLOY_FREQUENCY}}.

TASK:
1. Dev Environment Setup Guide — Create a step-by-step environment setup document that gets a new developer from zero to running the application locally within 4 hours. Include troubleshooting for common setup failures, verification checkpoints, and a script that validates the environment is correctly configured.
2. Architecture Deep Dive Sessions — Design 5 guided architecture walkthrough sessions covering system overview, data flow patterns, service boundaries, infrastructure and deployment pipeline, and monitoring and observability. Each session should be 45 minutes with diagrams, code references, and Q&A time.
3. Codebase Navigation Exercises — Create 10 progressive codebase exploration challenges that teach the new engineer how to find things, understand patterns, and trace request flows. Start with reading exercises and progress to small code changes that touch different parts of the system.
4. First Commit Pathway — Design a curated set of 5 starter tickets graduated by complexity from trivial (documentation fix) to moderate (feature addition). Each ticket should include context on why it matters, which files to look at, who to ask for code review, and what patterns to follow.
5. Code Review & Standards Workshop — Create an interactive workshop on the team's code review culture including style guide highlights, PR template walkthrough, review checklist, common feedback patterns, and practice exercises where the new engineer reviews sample PRs.
6. On-Call & Incident Response Training — Design a training module on the team's operational practices including alerting systems walkthrough, runbook orientation, incident response procedures, a simulated incident exercise, and a shadow on-call rotation schedule for the first month.
