_______________________________________________________________________________ / A manager went to the master programmer and showed him the requirements \ | document for a new application. 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 it 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. | \ -- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming" / -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
