Is JRR Tolkien the quest-giver, then?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I suppose one way to define a author is 'a giver of hypothetical quests to fictional people'

Unless it's nonfiction

I would like this but it feels wrong, because I hate everything about it.

They are rolling in so much dough that there is no excuse for not hiring more developers. That would both help take some load off and improve the quality at the same time.

It might work to turn JS off in such cases, at least that's how it is with New York Times articles and their 5 article limit before you have to start paying. uBlock Origin worked amazingly there.

Not really. Not all problems can be solved by tossing more people at them (most can, but not all), and at some point adding more devs won't shorten the work time for the same reason that 9 women can't make one baby in one month.

There's a whole book about it,

To quote:

Complex programming projects cannot be perfectly partitioned into discrete tasks that can be worked on without communication between the workers and without establishing a set of complex interrelationships between tasks and the workers performing them.

Therefore, assigning more programmers to a project running behind schedule will make it even later. This is because the time required for the new programmers to learn about the project and the increased communication overhead will consume an ever-increasing quantity of the calendar time available. When a number of people have to communicate among themselves, as the number increases, their output decreases and when it becomes negative the project is delayed further with every person added.

I can confirm this. I'm on a single-person project, where 3 of us work on it just to get it out in time, but we're almost a month behind schedule, and we're also out of budget.
