A 100 dev team is going to cost on the order of $25m a year (keep in mind cost is not just their salary, but also the HR/Management org to support a team of that size, benefits, office space, hardware/software). So if you think yo

Some were pretty bad, but none were nearly that bad. The B-58 Hustler lost 22% of its airframes, the F7U Cutlass 25%, the F-104 Starfighter in German service lost 33%. And those were outliers.
