Onboarding new developers with Unblocked
Onboarding new developers
Unblocked helps new team members find the answers they need so they can start contributing right away.
Being new is overwhelming.
There is an overload of information
Mastering a complete tech stack is time-consuming, especially when context is scattered across many tools.
Answers don’t come fast or easily
Busy mentors, gaps in documentation, and not knowing what to ask can all lead to confusion.
It’s hard to move fast and not break things
Everyone wants to start contributing quickly, but costly mistakes are more likely when onboarding is rushed.
Reduce the time to first commit
Provide tailored answers in seconds
New hires need to know how your codebase works on a deep level. Unblocked augments your source code with existing knowledge, so it can explain detailed concepts as well as your most skilled engineers.
Put your existing knowledge to work
Even when code documentation exists, it can be hard to find. Unblocked links to the sources it uses to come up with answers, so new hires can explore important context without having to search endlessly.
Make it safe to ask
No one wants to look silly in front of an experienced team. With incognito mode, new hires can keep their questions private, and ask as many questions as they need without feeling overexposed.
Turn new hires into experts
Your codebase is a compilation of thousands of past decisions and discussions. Unblocked surfaces this history next to your code, so new teammates get the same context as the original code authors.

“Unblocked has made years of scattered documentation and historical context about our codebase useful and relevant without any work on our part.
We are moving faster and making more accurate decisions as a team as a result.”
Steve Toutonghi — Director of Engineering at Measurabl
“Developers at Human Interest are now empowered to quickly get the context they need without making costly interruptions to others.
The team is not only getting more done, but they’re spending less time redoing work because they had the right information to make decisions the first time around.”
