TRAINING
.INFO
(\Why.html)
Why should you teach?
Selfish
 Make mad cash
 Look good at or outside of work by showing what you
know
 Look good at work by creating a training program
 Reinforce existing and learn new material for your own
usage
 Improve your presentation skills
 Networking & Collaboration
 Generate (hopefully) loyal underlings
Why should you teach?
Altruistic
 Pay forward what you've learned from others
 Lower the cost of training for everyone
 Reduce the inefficiency of n00b bootstrapping
 Consistency of shared baseline knowledge on
project/at company.
 Get more deep technical peers faster
 Push your field forward faster
Why should you contribute?
Selfish
 Show that your material is vastly superior to
others’
 Increase your reputation
 Platform to advertise that you are willing to
offer private training for organizations which
don’t have people who can pick up the
material for internal training (works good for
niches.)
Why should you contribute?
Altruistic
 Reduce duplication of effort
 You've got "abandonware" class material that
you would like to give a second life
 Save people time when generating new
classes
 Set a new, higher, baseline for expectations of
knowledge
 Build better organized ordered progressions to
get bootstrap deep skills faster
