Progress

See how far you have got: how many topics you have rated as familiar or confident, and how many checklist items you can do without help, overall and for each area.

What do the levels and ratings mean?

Expected level

Shown on every topic: what a new developer should reach in the early phase of the role. Each level builds on the previous one.

Expected level: Awareness: You know what it is, why it matters and where to find more. You can follow a conversation about it.
Expected level: Working: You can do the common tasks on your own, using documentation when needed, and explain it to a colleague.
Expected level: Proficient: You do it confidently and correctly without help. Gaps here block daily work.
