If a woman can produce a baby in nine months, 9 women should be able to deliver a baby in one month.
Literally just used that today in an argument lol. I just know execs are going to be mad we’re running behind, I said it to suggest we do bring one person on now so they can be fully ramped up in a couple of months. Of course shot down by them
lol whoever suggested that isn’t an engineer
I mean. The diminishing returns on larger teams in software development is an absolutely proven idea. But according to what I’m reading, the game is made by one person, which is probably not the ideal size for a game of these characteristics that becomes a hit. Still, expanding a 1-person team is going to be a slow process no matter what, especially for a project like this and right after a successful launch.
Yeah, these projects done by one or two people could be better with a larger team, but it’s definitely not a matter of hiring a big pile of people suddenly.
The ideal size is probably a couple dozen people, but scaling up to even that will take months since the one person currently in charge has to do a lot. And it’ll almost fully pause work on the project for a while.
Cause if there’s one person, they’ve got to find all the candidates, do all the hiring, then bring people up to speed.
The real problem is if the person who made it doesn’t have the skills to manage even a small group of people.
Lol, remember when everyone was hyped about Valheim? It still isn’t finished. (Next biome is coming out soon though!)
“let him cook,” says publisher
Since we’ve already bought the game. We can only be patient. I’m going to trust that it becomes a complete game in a few years.
Yeah for real, whoever said that is such an idiot. If he hired 5000 people instead they could get the work done 100 times faster.
It’s a great way to see who understands what working in IT is like. Whoever gave that advice is new to it.
