Ah, well from a “productivity” standpoint i think it’s fairly evident (eg see Mythical Man Month), but much less clear to me how to evaluate creativity. I’m ambivalent there. I certainly know of cases where the marginal 3 devs would add no (or negative!) further creativity.
Is there any practical evidence that substantially smaller effective teams are producing novel work these days? That's the sort of question that starts to address my concerns...
My favorite recent example is @NotionHQ
The whole product team is ~5 people (https://www.invisionapp.com/inside-design/ivan-zhou-notion-interview/ …) Also, coincidentally, in SF!
Also, whatsapp.
Nothing further than anecdotal though, i concede. I think the cultural baggage is taking a while to wear off.
I love Notion, but historically it hasn't been uncommon for teams that size to launch successful software products. AFAICT the ballpark for founding teams has been pretty stable, which is why I'm questioning the assertion that cutting them in half would have negligible impact
(In general, I think it's very hard to oversell the benefits of aggregating generative talent. There's probably a cap on frequency of useful interactions & bandwidth for collaboration, but $ constraints beneath the cap are still an issue Non-generative talent is a red herring.)
Yes, that’s fair and i dont actually disagree (though i’d assess bandwidth to be a bigger issue than you) SF is hurting because what you said is true. But tooling is a force in the opposite direction that is mitigating the hurt. Without it SF might be a lot worse already.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
