The growth in developer count is staggering. @ConsenSys now has more devs working on ETH projects than existed in the entire crypto ecosystem 4 years ago, and that's just <10% of the ETH devs. Projects you've never heard of have teams of 50 full-time engineers.

Most successful projects (e.g. Facebook, Bitcoin) were created by a single person or a small group. Throwing hundreds of engineers after a bad idea does not help, no matter how much time they spend on it.

This is something non-engineers regularly misunderstand. More devs != quality. A small team who build on sound technical foundation, can easily beat hundreds of engineers who build on quick sand. Quality >> quantity.

Yes, crap + qty < small team + quality....but ambitious projects require large teams as the scope increases.

In practice, top-down large-scale & highly complex software projects rarely ever work. Even when they do these systems quickly become unmaintainable monsters. Great software projects typically start small & stay as simple as possible. Check out Unix design philosophy.
