Is it? I feel that people vastly overestimate the actual number of competent programmers (not managers, CxOs, etc) many projects need.
Consider that even here on HN we have one person who wrote their own HTML5 renderer, JS-like scripting language, CSS, etc from scratch (csmile). How do you figure that to go from that to what is needed to make a browser that renders sites properly you need to add more than 49 additional programmers?
