Showerthought: This whole industry is suffering from mythical man month syndrome

The field of IT have grown exponentially, and there are simply not enough skilled people. It's pretty rare with even ten years of experience. If you've never heard of mythical man month syndrome (which you should if you're a developer) it's about how efficiency decrease instead of increase when you involve more people into an effort, because then the people with experience that are effective, have to put down their pen and learn the rookies and deal with the mistakes they make.

There still are, but gets outnumber by less experienced people that will try to make their work even harder to complete. We are at a point where the new developers and project managers have no clue anymore what the experienced people are doing so they are fighting the people that are saving their projects.
It is heart breaking to see generations of new developers that have have mis-learned by these boot camps that will leave trails of failed projects in the years to come. It will eventually become better, but we have now 1 or 2 generations that will fail in their IT career. Once mis-learned it can never be undone.
