That's a good point. Finding those people can definitely be a struggle. I was fortunate enough to get an "onboarding mentor" when I joined the company I work for now. He answered all my questions, no matter how seemingly stupid, and even paired with me for multiple hours each week for the first couple weeks of my onboarding.

Looking back now, I realize how not-normal that is. I wish more companies used a similar Buddy-System for onboarding new engineers.
