Translators · the people in the middle
Very few people stand in the middle. More could.
Research people have good reasons to stay away from production. Production people have good reasons never to look up. The middle stays empty. It doesn't have to.
Everyone comes in from one side.

Your first three steps
It gets worse before it gets better.
How productive it feels, stage by stage. Habits decide how long the dip lasts. Tap a stage.
Illustrative, not measured.
The habit that makes it longer
What shortens it
From the record:
Anyone can take part. Each stage is useful on its own.
No application form and no fee. The record of what you contributed is the credential.
Every person who learns to stand in the middle turns research into something people depend on, and production into something that keeps getting better.
