More People Can't Always Deliver Faster
The classic project management fallacy, illustrated with surgical precision. Just because nine women can't deliver a baby in one month doesn't stop project managers from thinking nine developers can deliver a project nine times faster. It's the same energy as believing you can dig a hole faster by hiring people who've never seen a shovel. Brooks' Law sends its regards - adding more people to a late project just makes it later. Next up: Project Manager discovers that two pizzas don't feed twenty people in half the time!

The Mythical Man-Month
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of project management in its purest form! 💀 This comic is the most SAVAGE takedown of Brooks' Law ever - "adding manpower to a late software project makes it later." The manager's solution to missing deadlines? THROW MORE BODIES AT IT! Because CLEARLY nine women can make a baby in one month! 🙄 And the DELICIOUS irony of ending up FURTHER behind after onboarding the new devs? *chef's kiss* That's the cognitive dissonance that fuels the entire tech industry! The final panel with "maybe we need a bigger room" instead of, I don't know, ACTUALLY FIXING THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT ISSUES?! I'm deceased! 💀 Fun fact: "The Mythical Man-Month" is a legendary software engineering book from 1975 that basically said what every developer already knows but no manager will ever admit - throwing more people at a late project is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline!

Oh my gosh, this is the cutest burn in software engineering history! 😆 The meme shows adorable cats looking at Brooks' Law which basically says adding more devs to a project actually makes it take longer ! It's like when your manager says "let's add 5 more people to meet the deadline" and suddenly everyone's just having meetings about meetings! The irony is wrapped in fluffy cat cuteness which makes the painful truth easier to swallow. Every dev who's been on a bloated project is nodding furiously right now while simultaneously aww-ing at those cats!
