The root of so many problems in software: reflexively upscaling capacity instead of addressing efficiency. Once you see it, it's everywhere.

- Process running out of memory? Don't just give it more, find out why first, and reduce how much it allocates.

- Team delivering too slowly? Don't just expand the team, find out what's slowing them down.

- Too much work to track? Don't just buy Jira and curate a huge backlog, identify the essentials instead, and keep a simple list

@sanityinc @dekkzz76 Well, expanding a team will only make it move even slower, as described in The Mythical Man-Month, which was published in 1975.

@mapcar @dekkzz76 Indeed, I read it in the 90s and it still holds up.
