newcomer

The best way "in" as a newcomer is to have some knowledge that no one else has.

If I'm out with a group, I'll happily involve a newcomer.

I want to be perfectly clear: I'm a relative newcomer here.

The repair approach is the disruptive newcomer to the field, barely ten years old, but gathering support.

These were all good things on the path to quality software as a community goal, but to a newcomer, it was overwhelming.

As always in hardware, established volume manufacturers are going to have a huge edge on any newcomer.

The problem is that they are so influential that every newcomer already knows whats they say, just by virtue of learning their trade after the books were written.

If you allow a newcomer to come in and spend to a loss for a while, disrupting the positions of established players, there is not a guarantee that the established player will ever recover on that keyword.

But I think this is mistaken for the same reason that generational rants about the fecklessness of the youth are mistaken, ie Occam's razor says that we are probably not all Nietzschean superman vs newcomer's being idiots, but instead we are probably more or less equal.

I can't imagine starting out as a web developer in 2013 and trying to jump in with all of these abstractions, tools and workflow items to try and understand; it'd be like trying to jump in as a newcomer to Rails at the latest version without all the context of the changes that lead to design decisions that currently make up the latest iteration of "The Rails Way".
