Lots of smart ppl I know (like you!) seem to agree with this, but it reads to me like "GitHub repealed the Mythical Man-Month"

Depends: is it about shipping a feature faster, or shipping more (~orthogonal) things? E.g. massive community parallelism possible for Rust.

For closely related features, man-month applies for sure. But for a dev platform, there's much opportunity for loosely-coordinated work.

Concretely: docs, async I/O, compiler perf, lang design, IDE integration, debuggers -- all done in parallel, with low coordination, in Rust.

Yes! In more decentralized OSS, disparate groups can address disparate priorities with more parallelism.

This doesn't mean 0 coordination (core team vital!) and doesn't mean perfect parallelism.
