If a developer makes 100K a year, you can pay four developers 100K per year to do 50% development and 50% release management on a single, two-person task. Or, simply hire a release manager at, say, 75K and two developers who develop full-time.
is this a realistic cost savings analysis? my impression has been that companies don't hire four developers to do a two-person task. they simply hire one "full-stack developer" to do everything. problem solved, money saved, i'm a great CEO.
