3-Step Developer Onboarding Guide

3-Steps for Developer Success

Step 0: Install CodeScene’s AI Developer Suite

Example where the CodeScene MCP enables an AI to fact-check itself, ensuring the generated code remains maintainable and AI-friendly.

Purpose: If you are using AI-Coding, benefit from AI-acceleration without the risks by immediately transforming tools like Github Copilot and Claude from a simple code generator into an engineering partner that understands and protects code quality.

Step 1: Install CodeScene’s IDE Extension

Purpose: Get real-time IDE feedback and a Code Health Monitor feature that flags code health issues early, ensuring clean commits every time.

Limitations: The Monitor does not currently respect your selected quality gate profile. E.g., Bare Minimum. This is prioritised on our roadmap.

Step 2: Enrol in CodeScene Academy

Purpose: Lead the future of software excellence by mastering Technical Debt, CodeHealth™ and AI-driven development for guardrailing and elevating codebases that aren’t yet AI-ready. All while earning globally recognised certifications.

Step 3: Watch Adam Tornhill’s Presentation: “Writing Code for the Human Brain: Optimize Code for Cognitive Bottlenecks

Purpose: In this talk, Adam speaks to developers, approaching code from the perspective of the human brain. Starting from common problematic constructs such as null-references, edge-cases, and complex conditional code, we discuss their cognitive costs and consequences.
