Is Conway's Law True?

Any organization that designs a system defined broadly will produce a design who structures a copy of an organization's communication structure. If you have four groups working on a compiler, you get a four pass compilation. And if you have five groups, we're going to go by the five pass GCC. That is just true because like that's the way we humans are our brains are wired,. But it hints towards a significant truth is you can't design software in a vacuum. You can't ignore people. Software is written by people for people. All the people from that equation doesn't make sense.
