This document discusses extremely distributed software development and challenges that can arise. It notes that traditional software development projects often experience chaos and delays. Some challenges mentioned include lazy managers, overtime causing stress, difficulties with team members ramping up and learning remotely, challenges with remote meetings replacing face-to-face interactions, and ensuring developers are paid based on results rather than hours worked. The document promotes an approach of distributed teams of 250 developers contributing over 300,000 lines of code across 25+ projects.
