You share credit, assume good intent, and treat the codebase as something the team owns together.Open to feedback. You see code review as a chance to learn, and you're comfortable when a colleague spots something you missed — that's the system working.Comfortable asking questions. Nobody expects you to know everything, especially early on. Saying “I'm not sure — can you walk me through this?” is genuinely welcome here.Happy to share what you know. You explain things patiently, write down what you learn, and make things a little easier for whoever comes next.Dependable. You follow through, and you give people a heads-up when something is taking longer than expected.Comfortable working across roles.

No protected health information, credentials, or client-identifying production data goes into any AI tool outside approved, contractually covered channels. No exceptions, no judgment calls.You use it to learn, not to skip learning.

Reviewers are checking your design decisions, not your fundamentals.Defects you fix stay fixed.
