Time To First Commit. An software engineer starts working at say, Google, and it takes them 1 month to get their code into production (actually running on google.com). Their time to first commit would be 1 month. TTFC is good/simple way to measure the effectiveness of your on-boarding process, and the learning curve of your organization.
Abe: Dude, at my last company my TTFC was 1 week. I've broken my record and now it is 3 days!
Bob: Some companies don't even keep track of TTFC, and then their new hires get all demoralized because they feel like they aren't making an impact. High TTFCs are the devil.
