A conference talk demonstrating how AI agents can dramatically improve the developer onboarding experience. Using a fictional developer 'Sarah' and the PostHog open-source codebase as a real-world example, the presenter walks through four acts: understanding the codebase architecture in minutes, surfacing hidden historical context from PRs and commits, identifying critical files and key contributors, and shipping a first PR on day one. Key takeaways include treating AI as a context engine rather than a code generator, using the codebase itself as living documentation, and measuring 'time to first PR' as a concrete onboarding metric.
