During Covid I had a colleague, mainly web/js/angular dev, join the Android team. It was a new project to him, so he had 0 idea of the business problems, flows, etc.

In a timeframe of 1-2 weeks he was making PRs. It needed quite some reviews from me, usually because he didn't know about "how it should behave" on Android, or what the best practices were in terms of using Kotlin or following our architecture. After 2-3 months he was as proficient coding as I basically (but we all know, coding is 50%).
