I find having build instructions helps a lot. These should be detailed enough that a new programmer can get your system up and running by following the steps.

If there are any errors, assign another dev who will promptly assist the newcomer, as well as update the instructions.

For me, it's always most frustrating to not be able to get the project running. I find this continues to contribute to divisions between teams and team members as time goes on. If you can't all run the code, there's no way you can properly contribute to it.

Yeah, that's nice and incredible for sure. The problem is that I don't think that this would help with the getting to know idea of the previous comments...
