@mike_horen yes, having multiple points of failure is a big pain to manage. That also adds lot of infrastructure to maintain. Its a nightmare. @rz47 talks about Bus Factor. Add that to the mix, and you have a deadly combination of unmanageable, cryptic code written by some guy who wanted to keep the secret sauce to himself.
@rz47 yes, by keeping the architecture simple, anybody can get on-boarded faster. I have seen a project where they had a custom framework which for a new guy took at least a week to learn and the people who mastered it do not want others to understand it well. That way they made sure they are always wanted.
