Does this mean that a solo developer working on a SaaS product can avoid bugs?

  That's actually very interesting IMO! Now that you said that, it seems obvious to me that there's a sweet spot somewhere, and that it's higher than 1 and (probably much) lower than 100.

  Well, in theory anyone can avoid bugs. It's just really costly and requires a very structured approach to doing anything. It's very unlikely, however, that you figure out every single combination of variables while writing tests. So, so in practice, I don't think it's possible to avoid bugs, unless you have a really tiny code base, maybe.

  surely this solo developer will avoid bugs regarding "communication misunderstanding" between the team elements.

    I'm not totally sure about that. "Me, yesterday" has to communicate with "me, today", and communication misunderstandings can absolutely happen. Now, sure, such things happen less when it's me talking to me than when it's me talking to you. They still happen, though.

  Days of yore when Bill Joy would rewrite / update Unix and userland over the weekend. https://invidio.us/watch?v=08PmIv1l5LY https://invidio.us/watch?v=08PmIv1l5LY
