+1 to putting a programmer on the drive team. Not related to the turnover issue, but still important to note. It shouldn't be a giant thing, but if two people of equal merit are under consideration to be the operator, its really helpful if the person who wrote the code for the buttons is pressing them.

I can't count how many times I've seen something wierd happen while operating, and simply known how to work around it because i knew the cause

And then was able to fix immediately afterwards.
