This is a great point, and something we're definitely aware of. The short story is that we think it's worth the trouble to build something that provides this for the end user, and we've made some significant progress on that path already. A

It's a simplification, like any analogy. It's also a version of Brooks' Law[1], in case that wasn't apparent to all. Businesses can certainly scale with more people. But this isn't a business, and to loosely paraphrase Andy Bechtolsheim at
