I’m not sure if you’re familiar with “The Mythical Man-Month.” I’m going to paraphrase a little here, but it was basically a software engineering case study that came out of IBM, and it showed that throwing developers at a software project that was behind schedule only made the scheduling issues worse.I’m not saying that it’s behind schedule, but adding manpower to a software project does not necessarily make it go faster.It doesn’t. It’s a little unclear, but I think the subscription is basically signing up for physical products as they’re release, and you’re charged the cover price of the book when the products ship to you. There is no recurring monthly charge.So it’s kind of like signing up to preorder stuff automatically…I think?</blockquote>
