Does scale change the problem?

question 1 connections

Audience pushes on Schirp's scaling argument: with three developers the problem size feels different. Schirp: it's the same problem; three-person teams just experience it differently because they haven't thrown enough darts to see the distribution. The overconfidence ('we have discipline') is identical; the evidence is just sparser.

answer_summary
Same problem everywhere; small teams just haven't thrown enough darts to see the distribution and stay overconfident.
