Suppose you say "bake me a cookie." Well that's easy, a ten-year-old could do it.
Suppose you say "bake me a billion cookies." All of a sudden, you need
- Buildings to store the cookies. (Preferably in several different places, in case one of the buildings gets hit by a hurricane.)
- Industrial-strength factories to bake the cookies. Back-end developers to build the machinery and fix it when it breaks.
- Front-end developers, who build machines that take the cookies served by the factories and package them into neat little boxes that are served to customers.
- Data scientists to experiment with various recipes and see which ones people like the best.
- Designers who decide what goes into the recipes.
- A security team so nobody hacks into the buildings and steals cookies.
- Quality assurance people who make sure the cookies are safe.
- A legal team for when people sue you anyway.
- A marketing team so people want to buy your cookies.
- Managers to lead all these people and make sure they know what they're doing. Managers to lead other managers. Managers to lead those managers, etc.
