Onboarding

The Tome.gg apprentice starter pack

This section is separated into two parts:

  1. Self-directed learning. You want to take your growth at your pace on your own and learn the content on your own. For this, we prepare guidelines to help you in this solo adventure.

  2. Accelerated learning. You want responsive and immediate feedback on your growth and learning immediately.

Self-directed learning

The following reading materials will set you up for the appropriate mindsets to launch you forward into your career in tech, whatever your track may be.

Mindsets

These learning mindsets are focused on the aspects of software engineering, but they can be generalized to any part of life.

Having a growth-oriented mindset builds on the idea of continuously investing and nourishing oneself.

Action items

Practice your growth

  • Write daily about your learning and growth using the Tome.gg tooling

  • Use your growth data as leverage to acquire a mentor

  • Manage who has read and write access to your growth data

  • Transform your growth data into an asset that earns while you learn

  • Use transfer learning to pick up lessons you observe in games that are analogous in your professional life

  • Enjoy the work-life balance of playing games and focused work, and enforcing boundaries that protect both

Accelerated learning
