#
sknebel good morning indieweb!
#
jeremych_ Hello sknebel
#
sknebel (at least I hope you have a good day. I'm currently stuck at uni. Storm arrived faster than expected and public transport in the entire region is shut down)
#
sknebel hi jeremych_
snarfed joined the channel
#
Zegnat Storm in Germany, sknebel?
#
sknebel Zegnat: yes
#
Zegnat Hmm, my dad might be flying to Germany today, so hoping you keep the storm in the Berlin area
#
sknebel Zegnat: north-east
#
Zegnat That should be fine. He was in the UK this week, and I expect he’s flying to Düsseldorf
#
jeremych_ !tell thrrgilag I see you ...
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
thrrgilag jeremych_: indeed you do... :p
#
Loqi thrrgilag: jeremych_ left you a message 3 minutes ago: I see you ...
#
@jedahan DAT/@beakerbrowser and the ideas behind them are so humane. It's the infra+ux that @indiewebcamp need. Comparing transport w/IPFS now... (twitter.com/_/status/915958269683879936)
#
@sebastiangreger #Indieweb Homebrew Website Club Berlin cancelled for tonight due to severe weather conditions. Stay indoors, stay safe ...and see you Oct 19 (twitter.com/_/status/915954973141295104)
#
aaronpk [markmhendrickson] yeah! I need to do a few tweaks for pagination cause the pages got way bigger than I expected, and then I need to flatten it to static HTML for archiving!
#
Zegnat This is pretty good, reminds me of when we wanted to do a mentor kinda thing in indieweb: https://alistapart.com/article/be-a-mentor
#
Loqi [Brandon Gregory] Be a Mentor
#
jeremych_ Zegnat you are all my mentors
#
Zegnat Aww, sknebel, sad to read the HWC is being cancelled
#
Zegnat There was a bit of a flirt with taking on an “apprentice” before jeremych_: https://indieweb.org/apprentice
Pierre-O and wolftune joined the channel
#
jeremych_ I haven't qualified as an apprentice for years, having owned my domain for years. But I still need mentors. :)

#
dgold i don't think I've ever known a 'web community' as open and helpful as this
#
sknebel dgold: not sure if I should be happy or sad about that. or both ;)
#
dgold is that 'mentorship'
#
dgold sknebel: there have been open communities, and there have been friendly communities
#
dgold but open _and_ friendly? worth more than the sum of its parts
#
PFMurph that sounds like an ideal community
[kevinmarks], marinin, jmelesky, nitot and jeremycherfas joined the channel
#
sknebel dgold: re "is that mentorship", for me mentorship has a clear aspect of having a specific person as a mentor (Vs having a community that'll help you if you have issues)
vivus joined the channel
#
dgold sknebel: i'm struggling to see the benefit of a mentor -v- community
#
dgold i've gotten better at so many things, due in no small part to the range of interests and approaches i've found among you fine folk
j12t joined the channel
#
dgold with a 'mentor', I don't think that would necessarily be the case
#
sknebel dgold: yeah, sounds good. a dedicated mentor might have the benefit that they'll keep track of your progress and nudge you, that part can easily get lost in a community. but not everyone needs that
amz3` joined the channel
#
sknebel (e.g. the article talks about a set schedule and things like that)
#
Zegnat I can also see how a mentor might help introduce different parts of the techstack one-by-one. But I don’t think the apprentice thing ever really stuck with the community.
#
dgold having been an apprentice, I guess I just have an antipathy to the entire idea
