I learnt about Java, mono-repo setups and am currently experimenting with a shift from git-submodules to mono-repo and also how versioning and packages are handled by yarn.

@nickytonline Sir, I hope the on-boarding is going well. I am just curious to know how you are approaching this on-boarding phase? Any learning you will like to share that may ease someone else "new guy" issues? :)

My on-boarding so far has been mostly reading, meeting co-workers, and attending some meetings. I’ve been taking notes on what I’ve been reading, and noted broken links or stuff that can be improved in our on-boarding documentation.

For 1:1s with my coworkers, aside from getting to know them a bit on a personal level, I’ve been asking them pain points they have with any of our processes, things they’d like to improve but may not have had time to do yet, etc.

I’ll be digging into code at some point and I’m sure I’ll have questions there too. 😎
