When I look at team sizes for '80s and '90s programs, and how fast those teams worked, and consider what I'd expect to be the team size for a modern program tackling the exact same features and how long I'd expect development to take, it also makes me wonder just how much these supposed productivity improvements—which are promoted as where these benefits are being realized, since they're plainly not showing up in program & system performance for the user—actually, like, exist.
