They're cooperating! The maverick is helpful! This is good, this is all very good!
Make the maverick produce APIs and the copy-paster consume them. This way the former can work closely with their users(their teammate) and the latter can't wing it by copy-pasting, since there's no example online. Also the copy-paster can be productive this way with minimal effort, which is their aim.
I've been in a team of 11 where there were was one lead, two mavericks and the rest copy-pasters. Also there was me, disgruntled with my role. The lead and his lackeys produced a component set, and the rest was just writing configurations in JSON and were happy to do so. I wasn't, so I quit. It was a bad case of NIH, but it worked for them.
