    I 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.

      Poorly worded on my part.

      They fully bought into the idea of the man-month without realising it was mythical.

        You know? I literally figured that out a minute before I saw your reply. And I rolled my eyes at myself.

        That makes sense. Silly me

        Cheers
