Yeah, I think this has this has changed almost completely from my first iteration of hiring pre-AI versus post-AI.
So I think before before AI, like I I recall drafting some documents where I was like giving a lay a high level lay of the land of the code base.
Like these are the major subsystems.
I don't think I tried to put too much in writing though.
It was more like on calls, like let's together walk through the code base and let me
You know, show you
kind of in the editor where things are and how they fit together at a high level.
But I think these days that is squarely in the sweet spot of an LLM.
And I think it's just so much easier in general to get onboarded into a code base because you can literally fire up an agent and just start asking questions about the code base.

Yeah.
