Fair points. Continuous operations create significant drag in day-to-day feature development work, but I can see the value for truly urgent things like Sev-1s, or having engineers that can jump on customer calls in different timezones. Definitely agree on the training point. That was one of the things we did right. I and several of the other senior engineers rotated through the foreign office for the better part of a year to get the new teams spun up on our codebase. Both offices maintained a good relationship afterwards. Thanks for the clarification.
