Ask HN: How to move away from silo knowledge culture?
We have new people moving in and out quite frequently in our team and only years after we recognized a value behind some sort of an on-boarding guide for all new people in a team. We don't have a huge code base but the complexity of the environment and final seemingly simple solution is often hidden and not openly stated anywhere. People don't write explaining the reasoning behind even most important details. Even the final solutions are usually described verbally to stakeholders during the meetings. What to do if stakeholders didn't get it during 1hr meeting or forgot everything since the last 1hr meeting, well then just setup another 1hr meeting.
I'm trying to show by example but it seems like it's not working. I have an impression that it's just the trait of OG people in our team. When I get pissed off when I waste my time in meetings/communications, others just accepted that as a permanent state of offers: yep people ask me questions and I have to answer them, there is nothing I can do to change that, well I can spend 10 minutes writing the answer once and for all, but no I will spend 3 minutes just answering it in an email/messenger/call now and hope nobody will ask me that again and don't ask me what is going to happen if I quit.
