RailsConf 2023 - Deep End Diving: Getting Up to Speed on New Codebases by Allison Hill

The good news is that there are concrete strategies you can use to make plunging into a new project an exciting rush (rather than a panic-inducing nightmare). With a little bit of focus put into the right areas, you can help every new team member- from the most junior dev to top dog seniors- jump in and contribute faster.
