    Feel like I have the same argument at work everyday. Some things just take a definitive time. 20 cooks won’t make a cake faster. Cooking that cake at 1000 degrees won’t make it faster. It will take the time it takes.

      I get your point… But I feel like people in this thread doesn’t know how cake making works…

      20 people will make a single cake faster. Not 20x faster, but faster. There are multiple part of the work that can be divided out to different people. Like you can have one person make batter while other makes icing. Fancy cakes actually do take multiple people to make simultaneously.

        *can make

        20 people poorly setup or managed can fuck up 100 cakes in the time it took one person to just make one good cake too

      20 cooks won’t make 1 cake faster, but they sure as hell can cook 20 cakes at the same time!
