minus-squareMechanicalJester@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoI don’t understand your statement. The Mythical Man Month teaches exactly that lesson of more bodies != Faster in many cases. How long to build the site with 1 full stack dev? 1.5 years. How long with an existing high performance team of 5? 2 months. How long if you hire 4 plus the one original (all qualified)? 1 to 1.5 years. How long if we hire 30 full stack devs? Maybe never.
minus-squaredeadbeef79000@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoPoorly worded on my part. They fully bought into the idea of the man-month without realising it was mythical.
