summary

Compares tabletop roles to engineering roles and claims teams with mixed skills beat a roomful of lone experts: avoid four competing “wizards,” prefer a balanced party with testers, communicators and backend leads. Cites concrete tooling mentions — caverns of kubernetes, master azure, even a mandatory block of chain requirement — to argue tech mandates often slow teams. Recommends regular half‑hour check‑ins, share tribal knowledge (no silos), prefer reusable fixes over one‑offs when appropriate, enable monitoring/logging in production, and avoid crunch; these practices lead to successful deployments.
