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. -
I cannot believe that I'm about to record the 100th episode of @ohmydollar this week. It's really been a fantastic journey creating this radio show with my colleagues at @xrayfm

Saying you can speed up software development by hiring more developers is like saying you can get planes to fly faster by adding more pilots.

Jetblue is rolling out a procedure where they identify customers not by their boarding pass or passport, but by facial recognition provided by the Department of Homeland Security https://twitter.com/mackenzief/status/1118509708673998848 http://mediaroom.jetblue.com/investor-relations/press-releases/2018/11-15-2018-184045420
Makes me feel sick to my stomach. I should stop flying places.
British Airlines did this on my last flight from the UK. I don't quite understand how I was already in that database. -
