/ A manager went to the master programmer and showed him the \
| requirements document for a new application. The manager |
| asked the master: "How long will it take to design this |
| system if I assign five programmers to it?" |
| |
| "It will take one year," said the master promptly. |
| |
| "But we need this system immediately or even sooner! How |
| long will it take it I assign ten programmers to it?" |
| |
| The master programmer frowned. "In that case, it will take |
| two years." |
| |
| "And what if I assign a hundred programmers to it?" |
| |
| The master programmer shrugged. "Then the design will never |
| be completed," he said. |
