Completely agree! After the onboarding process and training. First thing is a commit adding themselves to the seeders. Simple task and allows for exploration of the system and good confidence boost for the new team member.

Yes, exactly. It doesn't have to be a big thing, but that first commit going live is a huge learning moment and it gives the junior dev confidence that they belong.
