That's not a problem, it's a feature, and the article states that. Sometimes it may feel like you're blocked or stuck and can't progress as quickly, but the benefit of having every single decision in written form and most of the complexity thoroughly documented greatly outweighs that. I've been working as the sole person in my timezone (GMT-3) for sometime while my whole team is on CET. That was only made possible because everytime I get stuck, I'll search the company knowledge base and/or Slack and have consistently been able to find the information I needed to progress. This benefits my use case, but also saves invaluable time during incidents, avoids redundancy, duplication, contributes to continuous improvement and shields the product against knowledge turnover. That's a relatively low price to pay for waiting a day for a code review every now and then.
