not to put too fine a point on it, but does a single person really constitute a team?
- TaylorAlexander 3y ago“One person team” is a fairly common phrased to describe such a situation I believe. The “team” is the group of developers responsible for something, which may sometimes only contain one person.
- geraldhh 3y agoyea, sets with one or zero members exist. thou, one person does not constitute a team, sorry, not sorry.
- kelnos 3y agoYou're technically correct, which, as we know, is the best (/s) kind of correct. What matters is actual usage, and while "one person team" does grate on me somewhat, it's in wide usage, and it's understood what it means. So, "sorry, not sorry", but you're wrong.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoWords mean whatever the standard usage of them is. You can’t just declare a word to have a certain meaning. This is not my opinion - this is what scholars of language believe about language. The meaning of words changes over time as society finds other uses for them. https://ludwig.guru/s/one+person+team https://ludwig.guru/s/one+person+team
