2. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

3. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks

4. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

5. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
