If Larry Ellison had called the relevant SVP 3 years ago and said "I
want Rdb on VMS x86-64 in 12 months - you hire 100 software
engineers, if that is not enough you hire a 100 more, if that is not
enough then 100 more, but get it done", then we would have had Rdb
by now.
Brooks’ (First?) Law: “Adding manpower to a late software project makes it
later”.
Adding manpower to the project now may be too late to have a
positive impact. It depends on how well the outstanding tasks
can be done in parallel an how difficult the onboarding process
would be.
But having added manpower early in the project would almost certainly
have had a positive impact.
