Bullshit. Do you, or have you ever done, code development? I doubt it,
because if you had you'd know this is a completely inane idea. Throwing
programmers at a problem tends to SLOW IT DOWN once a reasonable level has
been passed. "Too many cooks" is very practical advice - you don't want
more engineers on a project than can effectively work on the codebase.
More than what that have would very likely have an *adverse* effect on
product development.

You're making pointless noise. You will get it when it is done, and
making noise on this list doesn't do jackshit - NOTHING will, it will be
done when it is done and not a second before. Such a simple concept.
