Startups know this phenomena as well. In the very early days when there are 4 people sitting in one room the whole time churning away code, ideas and tasks. That changes drastically when the company then grows. The lost in translation problem starts to occur. Context gets missed out, people don't communicate, processes need to be established.

I have my own lost in translation issue with Datatasks. I decided to split up frontend and backend and let the development been done by different persons (for some time including me). For Mind the docs I decided differently and we develop everything with Django. So one dev is responsible for frontend and backend at the same time. Works 100% better. So learning for me, focus resources so no lost in translation happens in the first place. That something for a later stage.
