The bigger problem is that if you delegate A and B to Vincent as the article suggests is that often it becomes King Vincent lord and ruler of A and B. They are the only one allowed to touch A and B, and worse may be the only one's capable of touching A and B. You can end up with a bunch of these little fiefdoms and getting anything done quickly becomes an issue of appeasing a few petty despots.
That's a little bit extreme for example but there's definitely benefits to standardizing things across projects.

- tonyarkles 6y agoThe author has another article about that. They’re allowed to be the lord and ruler of A and B, but also responsible for them. A and B are the consistent bottleneck to release? Maybe B should belong to someone else. Petty despots don’t get to keep their toys.
