How Codeium Helps Onboarding

Developers often face challenges when starting a new job due to the unique tech stacks, practices, and standards of different companies, which can result in prolonged onboarding periods and decreased productivity. Factors such as minimal documentation, legacy systems, and fragmented code contribute to the difficulty in quickly understanding a company's existing codebase. This not only affects new developers but also diverts the attention of experienced developers who could be focusing on more impactful work. While traditional methods like documenting best practices have been attempted, they often fall short in comprehensively capturing a company's standards. The integration of AI code assistants, such as Codeium, offers a promising solution by significantly reducing onboarding time and allowing developers to quickly grasp complex codebases. Customers have reported a reduction in onboarding time from months to weeks, leading to increased productivity and agility within development teams. Such tools not only enhance developer efficiency but also enable companies to dynamically allocate development resources to critical projects, ultimately creating a more effective and adaptable software development environment.
