The best teams I have worked with have been tightly knit for years. I had a tenure as a consultant for a team I knew quite well and those guys, around 7 or 8, had been together for perhaps 10 years.
They knew eachother so well and of course a side effect from that was that they produced absolutely astonishing things.
I was fended by these guys and the level of tooling set up for me not to fuck up, and their reviews, test strategies etc. was lean, direct and nutured by every single individual. They had built these skills as a team through years of hardship. It was quiet a Ln experience to be honest.
So yes, I totally agree with you on that people are what matters most and being in an organisation which hands down are backing it.
