What a ridiculous thing to write. I wish people would think before they type.
That man has a LOT to answer for.
I've always been mad, I know I've been mad like the rest of us have. Then you have to explain why you are mad, even if you are not mad...

Shine on you crazy diamond... 
It just sort of implies that more coders are needed then surely?
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Piglet, I'm not going to answer on any more of these now, honestly. I can't really make people understand further at this point, so I'm going to divert my energy - I'm so sorry.
There are many more important points to focus on right now than people worried about our staff levels when they really shouldn't be concerned over it. Let's just get the game how you want it.

You should see how shiny my forehead is right now. I won't lie to you.
Totally this... I classify myself as a Developer... It's even in my job title. But there's no way in hell I could just slide in to fixing the bugs in Elite Dangerous, I just don't have that kind of experience. On the other hand, on my project, in the areas that I've worked on I can fix a problem in 5 minutes that even one of my team mates would need a day or so, just to get up to speed on.
Fixing issues isn't a case of throwing more people at them (there's nothing so dangerous as someone with a little knowledge) you need to throw the RIGHT person at the issue...

Nothing would please me more than coming home and turning on my favourite game and not having to worry about all of this or come here so Yep.. works for me!
What dumbass nonsense. As a dev, I know my time is best served coding. Not doing promotional videos to sell ships like for that other space "game".
Not being a developer I wouldn't know. I'm just an invested person who's paid money. Just want my game to work. If it doesn't, I generally come here to find answers as to why it doesn't.
Because in that way that fix might come in a month instead than in a week

Teams needs to co-ordinate with eachother, and individuals within those teams need to co-ordinate as well. Communication and management takes time, in addition to the work of programming, debugging, etc...
Throwing more programmers at the project won't necessarily help, similar to how nine women can't make a baby in one month.

Nope, doesn't work like that. The fix may take a few hours, but testing and Q&A could take days.
