Thread 2: Tribal Knowledge Onboarding Release Process Gaps
Platform

Key Excerpt
“There is very little documentation… almost everything is tribal knowledge… I missed the mark due to considerations I would have had no way of knowing about.”
Why This Matches Ryva ICP
Direct first-person pain in dev workflow: undocumented release processes, weak onboarding, and implicit decisions causing delivery misses.
Underlying Problem
Critical execution context is trapped in people, not systems, so new engineers fail by default and teams relearn the same decisions repeatedly.

This is a real ops smell, not just "senior ambiguity." Ambiguity is fine; hidden process isn't. If release criteria and tool behavior are tribal, misses are inevitable. The best fix I've seen: document while onboarding and tie each failed handoff to a missing artifact so the same miss cannot repeat.Suggested DM Idea (Copy)
Your example is exactly the kind of context-loss loop that burns senior teams: implicit process, explicit accountability. I can share a compact onboarding-to-release checklist that turns tribal steps into durable team state.
