I'd like to reframe this a bit:

> "how can we fire a whole team, hire a whole another team and put them in front of the fired team's code and have them be productive in a few days ?".

What's really happening here is "how can we fire a whole team, hire a whole another team and have the new team be as productive as the old team was?"

You might think documentation, clean architecture, avoid feature creep etc... but what's really happening is that the old team is not productive by any absolute measurement.
