One of the first tasks of any new joiner is to update the notes with any errors or omissions. That should mean the notes are only as outdated as the last person to join. Which if you have a steady cadence of people joining shouldn't be too bad.
Having a buddy to answer any questions is good. Budget that taking 30% of that person's time at least initially.

This means now, I have a high bar for choosing something non-standard . It is not just writing the code but all the support, bug fixing, deployment and maintenance. Not to mention being able to hire with those skills

In London. You can do just fine with only a card. Quite a few coffee shops and lunch places only accept cards.
In Nottingham I've not seen a place that only accepts card. The Buses still accept cash
I've had a couple of temporary bans over the last few months. No warning or email. No idea what I did. Asking support on Twitter was the most helpful at getting things sorted https://twitter.com/LinkedInHelp
You have seen the r/LinkedIn mega thread? https://www.reddit.com/r/linkedin/comments/15cx1zg/mega_thre...
This sort of architecture. I wouldn't be surprised if current GPU were doing something similar.
If you think about executing a shader program. You typically are running that same code over a bunch of data. You can map that to multiple threads.
