Not a chance. Fifty people putting in one hour a week wouldn't even come
close to one productive, good developer. Programming isn't some
piecework task like sewing jeans in a Chinese sweatshop, as much as some
people would like to wish it is. It is as much art as it is science and
the best programmers aren't just a little better. They are a *lot*
better, at least by an order of magnitude.
