@kazani: "Collaboration" is bullshit by @joanwestenberg.eth trending on HN

The article argues that "collaboration" has become an ideology in the tech industry that hides diffused responsibility, and that high-quality work is usually done by individuals or small accountable groups. It cites S.L.A. Marshall's research in "Men Against Fire," which suggested that only 15-20% of riflemen in combat actively fired their weapons. It also points to Maximilien Ringelmann's rope-pulling experiments, which showed reduced individual effort as group size increased, and Frederick Brooks' observation that adding people to a late software project can make it later.
