This is all well and good, but it all hinges on your manager not being an insane maniac. All of those systems are great with the right manager, but if your manager is a KPI chaser / VP position seeker you are cooked.

I have had managers that were essentially like a sergeant, serving engineers as a phalanx against the business so we can go fast.

I have also had a manager who was so obsessed on showing off how much better of a dev he was than everyone else on the team, that he was largely hated and all talent on that team moved away if they could. I moved, and had a much better time in data science.

I largely agree that killer onboarding, and a clear path to deploy are big wins for normalizing your dev culture to new hires. The measurement tech is always a double edged sword.
