Super, a super simple task you can throw more people at.
The cake one I like because it highlights that this is a complex task where more people are going to get in the way. If you throw 5 more people into baking a cake halfway through it’s going to take 5 times as long because now you have to explain to them what you were doing, what your system is, how they should work together as a team. The overhead of adding them isn’t worth it, and you’d probably just say “go stand over there I’ll finish it”
Now, if you knew ahead of time you had an order for 50 cakes and you were given 5 people, now that’s a completely different problem to solve. You now have a leader, tell this person is on mixing, this person is on frosting, etc etc.
So, in short, it’s clear you aren’t an engineer, and it’s extremely clear you don’t know what a strawman is
It’s not even that more people get in the way. A cake, and a baby, and in some ways dev work, take a set amount of time under which you just can’t do, or you get an undercooked baby, or a miscarried cake.
