Lightning Talk: Onboard and start coding instantly with Codespaces

[raysonkoh]

Onboarding new developers is hard. Especially for open-source projects with minimal documentation and/or a long list of dependencies that require a lot of computation. With Github Codespaces, with a click of a button, any developer can instantly start working on his/her tasks, without worrying about installation / building / testing.
