Killer ASP.NET ninja coding monkeys do exist!

Hiring more developers doesn’t always speed things up.

Who’s heard of the term : “Too many cooks in the kitchen”? It’s a fundamental problem if ruling.

I was talking to someone awhile ago about this problem where they needed to get Task A done in a specific time frame and his boss wanted him to just hire more developers.

So I’ll give the same answer to you that we talked about:

It takes 9 months for a baby to be born. If you add 9 women into the fray, would the baby be born in 1 month?

I’ll stop there so minds don’t wander… yea that means you!

The Mythical Man-Month is the classic software management book covering this issue.  You should definitely check it out.
