You try to speed up work by parallelizing, either by adding more machines or more humans. Seems pretty similar.

It might seem obvious if you don't think about it much, but one is a pragmatic breakdown from experience and one just says "adding cpus won't work forever if there is some part where you can't add more cpus".

One is basically 1 + 1 = 2 and the other is a warning of a non obvious situation that comes from lots of experience and effort.

It's still an interesting parallel, but that might be not be of interest if you're trying hard to be the middle guy from the bell curve meme.
