Yes, this is very good evidence of why more developers doesn't necessary
lead to better code. One day, this guy just added multicasting to the
code. And though I applaud his resourcefulness in just digging in and
coding something overnight, we can't just add multicasting to the code. It
just doesn't work like that. Just like you can't just add a fifth wheel to
my car, even though that would be pretty neat to have. A lot of things
have to be worked out so that your code can work with the system that
exists and even so that your code will seem SANE in the system that
exists.
