Arrivant·es

[en] Here’s the problem: ==how do you make a space that feels right for beginners== when you have thousands of experts in the group who also want to join in?

[…]

Experts are very good at occupying these spaces. They are comfortable speaking, and eager to share their knowledge. How do we ensure that they don’t monopolize the discussion?

Beginners can be shy, and reluctant to speak. They may feel like they don’t know enough to even ask a question. They don’t want to appear dumb. They hear the experts around them, and feel even more certain that this is not for them.

The experts could have the best intentions: they want to help the beginners. They are interested in the subject, and have useful bits of information to contribute.

Trois nouvelles personnes sont arrivées au sein de Scopyleft ces derniers mois. J’apprécie le fait que l’on transmette les précédentes pratiques en précisant régulièrement que celles-ci peuvent être transformées par ce nouvel état. L’expérience permet bien souvent d’aller plus vite, mais potentiellement dans une direction qui n’est plus la bonne. Je trouve sain que la croissance ne soit pas synonyme d’accélération mais de transformation, ce n’est pas à l’arrivant·e de s’adapter mais à toutes les personnes du groupe d’accepter un nouvel équilibre.

J’aime me rappeler de cette métaphore technique :

[en] Teams are immutable. Every time someone leaves, or joins, you have a new team, not a changed team.
