They're not kidding about the pace...

The author shares their experience as a new Product Engineer at incident.io, emphasizing the company's focus on pace and efficiency. They attribute this to thoughtful onboarding, ownership, and simple architecture. Onboarding includes clear documentation and orientation, while ownership is instilled from the beginning by encouraging new hires to evaluate and improve existing documentation. The company uses a monolith architecture for its codebase, which simplifies local development and makes it easier for new engineers to understand the system. Despite the fast pace, the author believes that these deliberate choices contribute to their productivity and success at incident.io.
