Notes
    gollark: Clearly it's good enough for some task/people combinations, because volunteer organizations exist.
    gollark: I do not think altruism/"if no one does them they are not done" is a sufficient incentive to make people do necessary quantities of possibly-uninteresting work.
    gollark: You need more formal systems to organize people at scale, and we need scale.
    gollark: Many companies doing things will have more people than that in one department.
    gollark: According to the widely shared arbitrary estimate of Dunbar's number you can have something like 150 close social connections. This is probably at least order-of-magnitude accurate.
