This is a good one, and something I struggled with personally. Blocking the team because you can’t get work done is just not OK (over time).
There’s a challenge though. It’s easier to then lose contact with the codebase and state of things.
Do you have any recommendations to avoid this?
Not any super good ones no :)
Do more code reviews. It's not quite the same, but at least you'll see the new code that's going into the app.
Chip away at ancillary things, nice to haves, things that won't block anyone, but still keep you somewhat close.
Take a tricky bug now and then. The code snooping you have to do to fix it will get you back into things.
