- smaudet 3y agoTo be fair there are diminishing returns to additional hires, typically hiring one additional developer produces maximum 20% additional throughput, often lower after onboarding/hiring too green. You might have to double or triple team size to get 20-30% increase. So I see the temptation to "get more done with less" although the reality is you actually drop throughput in the long term.
- HelloNurse 3y agoBeing sarcastic is my fault, but understanding the opposite of what the article intends is your fault. I was talking about hiring to increase slack, not to increase throughput.
