As an older full-stack/full-cycle developer for many years, this article made sense - and gave quite a bit of hope. If you can't dog-food your product, IMHO developers need to be as close to the coal face of their 'product' as possible. Per the article, assigning a team to a feature has allowed Netflix to get better coding outcomes.

With that said, I can also see a potential downside to this development model. Once a new feature is stable enough, the number of people required to support it has to reduce. Wondering how Netflix solved this?
