    Anyway, I think there may be an upper limit on hiring for a project, where there are tasks that just can't be decomposed. But I think there are plenty of projects where hiring more people makes things go faster.

    Yeah I think there's some point where hiring more does make the team more productive (from 1 to 2 people for example), but much beyond that I think there are diminishing returns. Hiring people with skills other than development is a whole different story tho.

      "Diminishing returns" is different from "negative or zero returns". The issue in Mythical Man Month is around bootstrap time and communication overhead.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
