summary

Claims a repeatable program: pair a few architects with cohorts of juniors who dedicate 20% time in synchronized work days, teach via code reviews and planning, and tackle concrete tasks like rewriting the whole of the build system or upgrading compilers and moving to a newer C++ standard. Reported after five years of practice: large, risky refactors get done, juniors gain usable expertise and become team references, architects offload work, and technical debt actually shrinks.
