What sort of questions do you find your self wishing the part timers were around to answer?

  When there is a separation of responsibilities and not enough knowledge overlap or documentation, then people are more likely to feel stranded when their colleagues go offline.

    I work with offshore developers and the general idea is that you're reachable by phone/slack/email off-hours -- both them and myself. Obviously with delay.. but for simple questions/statuses it's not concerning. But if it was actually blackout, it'd be untenable.

    That team has created something with a dangerously low bus factor (especially the poor docs), and is lucky to be getting a warning early enough to resolve it. Turnover does happen sooner or later.
