The slow part of software is NOT the initial generation of software. It's the maintenance and review of it.

If your management is pushing for 10x programmer output, hell even 40% more programmer output, what they're asking for is a stability crisis. There's no way around it. That's how it is right now.

@cwebber Even the first book about software project management, agrees 100%. I've always asked by project managers if they know "Mythical Man Month", and it was a decent predictor of their performance - especially, if they knew it and never read it.
