I think people forget that it's incredibly difficult to coordinate a group of people beyond a certain number. We're all walking, talking grey gooey blobs of personality, feelings, ambitions and stubbornness (even managers/leaders). To even attempt at mitigating and guiding such things to team or company-useful outcomes we have to have meetings. Sometimes lots of them. It's the unfortunate nature of such a dynamic and chaotic system.

The speed of software development is proportional to how little I have to think about. If i care about fifty files to add one feature, then the productivity plummets. It I can just edit file small sensible file, and release it pretty quickly, then I can go so fast. And software development speed pays compound interest (tech debt eats interest compoundedly?)
