Yeah, but you don't need that many to start. That knowledge will spread rather rapidly to where it's needed.


But that has also the danger of forming islands (mortgage code) which can be maintained by some (or, one) specific engineers.


That can be mitigated by hiring senior engineers that understand engineering leadership, and having competent engineering management to specifically encourage knowledge transfer.

It’s not really that hard.
