It's amazing how often you can't simply Clone a repository (aka "Get Latest") and compile it.
A good developer makes it clear how to get a new project, compile it and run it.
Figure: In Visual Studio the project setup experience starts with the F5 key!
Sometimes the experience is more CLI based
Figure: Some consider this rule (Do you get latest and compile) to be more a “git clone” and then “dotnet run”
Sometimes the experience is more Mac-based
