Embracing the Rule of Two: New Developer Training at Lemmy
Instead of a traditional Jedi mentorship program, we could institute a “Rule of Two” Sith training regimen where experienced developers take up one promising new contributor as an “apprentice.”
The goal would be to pass on knowledge and skills in the ways of the code until the apprentice can unlock their full potential, eventually surpassing the master to carry on Lemmy’s legacy. Just hopefully without all the backstabbing business between Sith masters and apprentices!
We wouldn’t want to spread our developer talent too thinly and dilute their effectiveness like the Jedi and their younglings. The Rule of Two keeps things focused for more rapid advancement along the path to the dark si… I mean the path towards revolutionizing social media.
This structured 1-on-1 training in the Lemmy dojo would accelerate new contributors’ growth. And once an apprentice has proven themselves by conquering a few issues singlehandedly, they too can take on their own apprentice and spread their newfound wisdom.
So by tapping into the power of the developer dyad through Sith-inspired mentorships, we can unlock the potential of new contributors, avoid diluting our experts’ effectiveness, and spread knowledge exponentially to fuel Lemmy’s growth.
It’s a funny idea I had after writing this comment and I just had to share it. Anyways, what are your opinions about mentorship programs?
