Shadowing is difficult in an online setting versus a personal setting. We have a hard time shadowing each other because a lot of the time trying to fix things is staring intently at various config files, trying to remember which language does what, and a lot of radio silence. Apprentices who have tried to shadow us end up getting frustrated and asking a lot of questions which breaks our concentration when we are already dealing with a OMG WTF moment. Which ends up as a poor experience all around. In order to make it work, it would take a lot of retooling everything we do while we are supposed to keep the current ship running. That would require it to be a large enough priority that we can drop a lot of other balls to make it work. > > Honestly sounds like fun to me, but I'm stupid like that. > > - Karsten > -- > Karsten Wade | Community Architect | @quaid > Red Hat Open Source and Standards (OSAS) : @redhatopen > https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://osci.io > gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig > > _______________________________________________ > infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
