In the '90s, Siemens AG and Ericsson made a joint venture called Ellemtel for a classic six-month death-march project: if it completed on time, the customer paid. Otherwise, discarded. Each company sent 250 engineers.
At the end of the six months, they delivered a working system. Fully half the code in it was by this one engineer.
