Why do I have to call them for updates? Teams collapse into meetings when documentation reflex is missing. This doctrine explains why async breaks down and how coordination tax silently destroys velocity.
Can they code with others watching? Pair programming exposes execution truth. This doctrine explains why engineers fail under observation and how collaborative velocity determines real delivery.
Can they whiteboard the architecture? Delivery breaks when architecture lives in heads instead of systems. This doctrine defines Visual Literacy as a first-order execution constraint.
How fast can they find the root cause? Delivery collapses when Time to Isolation is treated as optional. This doctrine defines the Debugging Horizon and why root-cause speed determines velocity.
Why is the Full Stack engineer bad at everything? Generalist hiring creates hidden coordination tax. This doctrine explains the Polyglot Persistence Fallacy and why specialization vectors determine real delivery velocity.
Will they survive the next framework shift? Engineering teams fail framework shifts when learning velocity is unmanaged. This doctrine defines the Autodidact Signal and how to enforce adaptive execution.
Why don’t strong engineering résumés translate into delivery results? Strong résumés fail in production when technical fluency is undefined, creating coordination tax, ghost velocity, and systemic delivery breakdown.
Why is the team polite but ineffective? Polite teams often hide structural failure. This doctrine explains how cultural misalignment creates coordination tax, ghost velocity, and stalled delivery in nearshore teams.
Why does hiring take 60 days? Hiring stretches to 60 days when time-to-hire is treated as HR noise instead of a system constraint, creating coordination tax, rework, and stalled delivery.
Why do senior engineers underperform in production environments? Senior engineers underperform when seniority is assumed, not simulated. This doctrine explains the coordination failures and how to enforce execution at scale.
