I can resonate with the author, giving the context working on Scaleups and Big companies, where the coordination and communication plays a very heavy toil on the actual work.

I do not believe in this model of “big collaboration” with folks swarming around a problem and each one with partial context trying to fix something that structurally has a huge communication, coordination and technical coupling.

The best work experiences that I had was in teams that we establish the APIs, S3 buckets where the processed batch files will stay an maybe a e-mail list where someone will reply if something change.
