It really depends on so many factors it’s extremely hard to tell. We’ve brought folks at Cloudflare up to speed roughly that fast.

“average” and “proficient” are both very variable in that statement, imho.

They started with >1 Klabnik units and every person you bring up, it creates a larger pool of folks to lean on for support.

I can’t take credit here, while I am around to answer questions, getting folks going is not my job.

It is true that we have a chat room with a bunch of folks, of which I’m part.

I wouldn't discount what gp is saying though - having an (or a few) experts on hand from the start, can help training the first new convert "the right way" and they can then mentor the next one and so on.

Even just by being availabletto answer questions or help with code review. Doing some pair programming sessions would probably be useful too.

Oh yeah, it’s helpful for sure. I just don’t want to take too much credit!
