Don’t Do This in Production

I once read, and have found to be true, that one can only train someone else to be 80%, or whatever, as good as you. If you let that person train someone else, then they will be worse than that.

Teaching someone to only 80% might be true on average, but the remaining parts they have to figure out on their own. But if you have 20 years experience you surely will never train a newbie to that level in a short time and expect him to train others to your level. For certain skills it works, but you just need experience and that happens over time and willingnes to learn.
