🚀 Onboarding & Knowledge Transfer Language

English vocabulary for both sides of the onboarding process — new joiners asking good questions, experienced engineers writing handovers and mentoring effectively.

Why this matters: Both sides of the onboarding process require clear English communication — new joiners must ask questions and request context, while experienced engineers must explain systems, write handovers, and mentor effectively. This vocabulary is essential for global distributed teams.
