I’d tend to disagree… I prefer to get the character making process done in advance, do one on one games, and get them to (about) the same location in the story, and have a “key event” get them to working together. In fact I’ve done it this way several times as a DM for various games

Yax, Love your style man. Get the people tied to their characters get the characters tied to each other, throw them into a fight and let them build the world for you. The less they have to start with the more questions they ask. That gives you whole roads to go down with them as they build/ discover your world. I have had more success with player inspired improv than with worlds I had spent months agonizing over. Great advice. Thanks for the pdf downloads. great reminders of what it’s all about. Playing a game together. Thanks JohnL

I’m not a newbie but if I were this would be a fantastic read to build your confidence and get ready for your first step into the depths of D&D. I’ll make sure to recommend this post.
