Quote #649

Production speed is severely degraded if one works with half time people,
who have other obligations as well. This is at least a factor four; probably
it is worse. The people themselves lose time and energy switching over, the
group as a whole loses decision speed as discussions, when needed, have
often to be postponed until all people concerned are available.

-- Dijkstra (EWD 196)
