I reckon there was no point at where I suddenly felt productive, more so that there was a point where I was absolutely aware, retrospectively, that I actually was contributing.

I reckon, if I had to put a timescale to that, I was probably contributing after a couple weeks, but only contributing with great benefit after 3-4 months or so?

Interestingly, this is only based off my experience with my first software role. I'm about to start my second, so it'll be interesting to see how quickly I feel I get settled in and contributing.
