Communication and Convention
summary
Claim: Ember’s conventions create a shared vocabulary that turns onboarding and mentorship into scalable processes rather than bottlenecks. Cites concrete practices: add-ons added with a single command, using the Ember guides to outsource boilerplate, pair programming time reclaimed, Slack/Discord for cascading feedback, and the pattern‑block idea from fashion as a reusable foundation. Reports personal outcome: rapid growth from novice to productive contributor and conferences where only a few lines of code convey practical lessons.
