A lot don't have closely working together ('two pizza') teams distributed across offices, nevermind timezones more than one or two out.

Occasional collaboration is different from day to day, and I'm sure that's why GP emphasised 'asynchronous' - doing it with your close colleagues requires a shift in how you work, async written communication not chats, PR review not pairing, etc.

This was not occasional collaboration, it was daily video standups, real time collaboration, code review, frequent video discussions with other developers and domain experts, etc.
