The manager asked the master: “How long will it take to design this system if I assign five programmers to it?” “It will take one year,” said the master promptly. “But we need this system immediately or even sooner! How long will it take if I assign ten programmers to it?” The master programmer frowned. “In that case, it will take two years.” “And what if I assign a hundred programmers to it?” The master programmer shrugged. “Then the design will never be completed,” he said. — Chapter 3.4 of The Tao of Programming, by Geoffrey James (1987)
