    Except “mass” is not useful by itself. It’s not a chair factory where more people equals faster delivery, just like 9 women won’t deliver a baby in a month. I wish companies understood this.

      You’re oversimplifying things, drastically.

      Corporations don’t have one projects, they have dozens, maybe hundreds. And those projects need staffing.

      And that’s the core of your folly - latency versus throughput. Yes, putting 10 new devs in a project won’t increase speed magically. But 200 developers can get 20 projects done, where 10 devs only finish one.
