Thread 2: Uneven SWE Capacity Ownership Risk

Full Post Text (Key Excerpt)
“Need to ship software on time… SWE 1 is twice as fast and three times more capable… SWE 3 needs regular contact with SWE 1.”
Why This Matches Ryva ICP
The post exposes weekly delivery pain in a small software team where ownership, dependency load, and communication overhead are collapsing onto one engineer.
Underlying Problem
Critical delivery depends on one person, creating hidden queueing and blocker amplification.

Trying to make workload look "fair" usually hides risk. Assign by delivery risk: hardest/highest-impact work to the reliable owner, low-risk slices to others, plus fixed escalation windows so questions stop interrupting core flow all day. This protects throughput while you build team depth deliberately.Suggested DM Idea (Copy)
You’re in a classic dependency trap: one high-leverage engineer carrying both complexity and interruptions. I can share a simple allocation + blocker cadence model that keeps shipping predictable without burning out SWE1.
