A senior developer dropped a project last week. It was a big deal since they were leading the rollout for a key feature. The rest of us were caught off guard when it was announced during the stand-up. They'd been moving between teams frequently, and it felt like no one knew they were leaving until the last minute. i watched as the project manager tried to fill in but the gaps left behind were huge. Everyone could sense the pressure. To complicate things, we were already behind on deadlines. It felt like the classic SAN instability. After the meeting, I pulled together a quick catch-up session to go over what we could salvage. Just trying to keep things moving forward with less chaos
