Definitely read Mythical Man-Month, which describes how adding more people may delay a project due to communication overhead ("why did the Tower of Babel fail?").
I was thinking this article would be an example of that, but actually while Mythical Man-Month mostly assumes that new team members would share the same visions and goals, this article takes a more adversarial view where new team members are assumed to come with their own agenda. I believe it's a form of cookie licking[1].
