@KentBeck Our experience: async work without at least a few daily sync work opportunities doesn’t work very well for us, especially for more junior team members

@GarethStep @joshilewis @stephan_swart @riaan_dp I meant just see if you can rope in someone already part of the company, without hiring, even if they don’t have titles like architect (in my experience there usually is someone like like this that knows the systems inside out)... but silly to generalise like this I guess
