Ask HN: What did onboarding training look like in OS kernel teams? 6 by markus_zhang | 2 comments on Hacker News. Context: I'm wondering how did OS kernel teams provide training to their new hires. I'm mostly curious about: - NT kernel / XNU kernel / Android kernel teams, or anything that is not OSS like Linux, e.g. some prop RTOS team would also count - When teams still hired new graduates from targeted schools into kernel teams. Not sure whether your team is still doing this so I put up a past tense. Questions: - How much time do new hires work on the training? Do you give e.g. 3 months to catch up and start to work on small tickets, or it's a swim or die strategy? - If there is any structured training, what material do you use? Is it mostly reading internal docs, or shadowing seniors, or published books about the kernel, or something else? - How does the training address code quality? What kind of exercises/material does it lay on the new hires to work on code quality...
