What are good non-ableist replacements for "the blind leading the blind"?
I was just about to describe my situation setting my team up with git as "the 20/200 leading the blind" and oh wait.
@sev Hmm. What I like about the ableist metaphor is its slight implication of danger - like, you're supposed to believe that blind people are likely to just wander into traffic or something.
(The metaphor popped into my head because I realized this morning that I don't know what the best practice is for keeping a production repo up to date in the particular way that I want to do. And I'm inexperienced enough I didn't even notice the stickiness until it caused a problem.)
@mcmoots Like sheep without a shepherd?
@mcmoots Hmm... good question. Something like this, maybe:
"I have no idea what I'm doing. Want to dance with me?"
@mcmoots this seems like a good time for dating what you actually mean - like, if what you mean is "the people teaching only know slightly more than their students," can you just say that?
