We only need that many people because our tools weren't sufficiently advanced at the time. We had to invent a lot of things on the fly there.

- Uchikoma 15y agoSo today this could be done by 2 founders without bosses? (the topic of this thread)
- mattmanser 15y agoEventually, yes. For example right now a duo are preparing to do a manned space flight, which would have been unthinkable 30 years ago. http://copenhagensuborbitals.com/ http://copenhagensuborbitals.com/ http://copenhagensuborbitals.com/personel.php http://copenhagensuborbitals.com/personel.php
- Uchikoma 15y agoMe: This works with 2 people. You: Yes, look, here they do it with 22 people. 2 of them are described as "Lead" which is contrary to the point you want to make: "You Weren't Meant to Have a Boss." Additionally the problem of putting someone in space is different from putting someone on the moon and back again.
- iamwil 15y agolike matt said, I think eventually yes. It seems silly to us now, just as it seemed silly back a couple hundred years ago that you can run a farm with just a handful of people and even produce more food.
- ippisl 15y agoBut when you have many tools and building blocks , the problem doesn't require many intelligent decisions anymore , and isn't "big" by the definition given by the parent thread.
