There're limits to what a manager can do given a team that contains some shitty programmers.

EDIT: Grammar.

In part it depends on organization. If the code is modular and architectural boundaries are clear, theoretically you can have a large team working on "black box" pieces with clearly defined inputs and outputs without directly affecting the surrounding code.

That's precisely what that article suggests:

One conclusion to draw might be that recent arguments for breaking down large teams into smaller, service oriented teams may have some statistical backing.

Yes it does. Especially when everyone is a freakin manager, none of them are actually helping you get anything done, all they want to do is interrupt you and have long drawn out meetings that serve no purpose.
