вариться в том же самом соку

[Chucha]

Can you help me with the translation of this Russian phrase... What i want to say by using it, is that people having the same problems can better understand each other, their standpoint.

Thanks to all for help

[LaMelodie]

Я вот нашла практически такой же аналог

to stew in one's own juice

[Аристарх]

to stew in one's own juice - другое. Означает находиться в узком кругу людей, быть лишенным возможности советоваться с кем-либо, воспользоваться чьим-то опытом. Быть предоставленным самому-себе.

to be in the same predicament
to hang out with fellow sufferers

and what would be your CONTEXT, dare I ask?...

[Chucha]

To Mo: my context is rather descriptive...Company profile for a software company that develops tooling for developers, i.e. people who probably have the same problems, interests, needs, etc. This is what i am trying to express

[kinsman]

share a common spirit, a set of values...

[Mo]

fellow developers
