## What Jamie wrote

Good approach here for product teams building out new capability. Particularly the first aspect of maintenance costs. Reducing maintenance costs is an investment that keeps on paying forever. As those costs go up, your velocity is impaired forever. Related, reducing cycle time is another gift that always keeps giving.

The other component is really about minimizing switching. Context switching is very expensive for development teams. Having fewer things to focus on results in less context switching, and context switching has no customer value.
