Do you have a new developer joining your team soon? Are you planning to have them start working on one of your older apps/projects? How might you help them feel good about being able to a) get up-and-running and b) quickly contribute something to your project?
Here's one idea that you might consider doing before their first day.
🎧 Put your headphones on
👨🏻🎤 Listen to some Bowie
🔥 rm -rf /path/to/your/local/app
⬇️ Freshly clone your app
👩🏼💻 Follow your setup docs, step-by-step
🧟♂️ Get frustrated that they aren't up-to-date
🏃🏻♂️ Get app running, again
🕸 (while tidying your docs)
⤴️ Push your documentation changes up
🥾 Go outside for a nice hike/walk
🙃 Smile at the world
