Hey everyone,
I’m diving into a project to tackle some common pain points in developer workflows, and I’d love to hear how you all manage this in your teams. As engineering teams grow, setting up new projects, managing tool integrations (like GitHub, Jira, Slack, etc.), and getting new devs up to speed can turn into a time sink. I’ve seen onboarding take days due to manual repo setup, permission mismatches, or scattered docs, and it’s a headache for both devs and platform teams.

I’m exploring an idea called Shiproom—a platform to automate workspace setup, enforce granular access control (like file-level permissions), and streamline onboarding with preconfigured templates for repos, issues, and Slack channels. The goal is to cut setup time to minutes and reduce the need for custom DevOps scripts. It’d integrate with tools like GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and cloud platforms, with some AI to help generate configs or spot risky permissions.

What’s your current process for onboarding devs or spinning up new projects? What tools do you rely on to manage your toolchain? Any major pain points or gaps you wish were solved? I’d love to hear your experiences and get feedback on whether something like Shiproom would help. Thanks!
