> Does Conway’s law imply that an organization of size 1 produces a system with components that are optimally integrated? It’s creative work, like anything else. 1 is not necessarily always the right size, but 100 certainly isn’t. If you look at musical bands usually a sweet spot is between 1-6. You can add more in eg an orchestra or choir but everyone’s not involved in the creative work. Then it depends on how well you vibe with people. If you have extremely unique ideas and thoughts, you may be better off alone. If you find peers with similar values, preferences and experiences, you might be fine with 5 people.
