Training & Mentoring is a Common Good

Jason Gorman says he hears these questions a lot:

“Why should I train my developers? They’ll just leave.”

“Why is it so hard to find developers with the skills I need?”

It’s like asking:

“Why should I plant a tree when I won’t get to enjoy its shade?”

Then immediately asking:

“Why isn’t there any shade around here to enjoy?”

As the old proverb says, “A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses.”
