You might have an umbrella project that's developed by 100s of developers. If you actually look at how the work is split up, you'll see that individual teams rarely exceed 10 people.
Also, here's a case study of how SISCOG has been developing a large Lisp applications since 1986: http://www.siscog.eu/upload/GESTAO-DE-LISTAS/News/PDF/eclm-2013-siscog-a-story-written-in-lisp-20130602.pdf http://www.siscog.eu/upload/GESTAO-DE-LISTAS/News/PDF/eclm-2...
- pjmlp 13y agoI am Portuguese and fully aware of SISCOG. The problem is when those chunks get integrated. The joys of spending one to two months doing integrations until everything finally works, for each milestone. Just because a few companies happen to do it right, doesn't mean the majority does it. In one of such projects, the developers were deploying code to a live server, after producing the corresponding artifacts on their own computers. Management did not care, because it worked most of the time anyway.
