The use of large numbers of loosely coupled programmers in an attempt to wedge a great many features into a product in a short time. Though there have been memorable gang bangs (e.g., that over-the-weekend assembler port mentioned in Steven Levy's Hackers), and large numbers of loosely-coupled programmers operating in bazaar mode can do very useful work when they're not on a deadline, most are perpetrated by large companies trying to meet unrealistic deadlines; the inevitable result is enormous buggy masses of code entirely lacking in orthogonality. When market-driven managers make a list of all the features the competition has and assign one programmer to implement each, the probability of maintaining a coherent (or even functional) design goes to epsilon. See also firefighting, Mongolian Hordes technique, Conway's Law.

A gang bang is a situation in which one person engages in sex acts with several individuals at the same time. Normally there is a single individual who is the central focus of the sexual activity, e.g. one woman surrounded by several men. Rather than serial couplings by two people, the gang bang is defined by the number and simultaneity of the various sex acts such as oral sex, anal sex or double penetration.
Gang bangs are not defined by the precise number of participants but usually involve more than three people and may involve a dozen or more. When the gang bang is organized specifically to culminate with the (near) simultaneous or rapid serial ejaculations of all male participants on the woman (or central man), then it may be referred to by the Japanese term Bukkake.
By contrast, three people engaged in sex is normally referred to as a threesome, and four people are normally referred to as a foursome. Gang bangs also differ from group sex, such as threesomes and foursomes, in that most (if not all) sexual acts are centered on or performed with just the central person.[1] Although the participants of a gang bang may know each other, the spontaneity and anonymity of participants is often part of the attraction. Additionally the other participants normally do not engage in sex acts with each other, but may stand nearby and masturbate while waiting for an opportunity to engage in sex.
Gang bangs are not synonymous with gang rape because all sexual activity is consensual and is often organized and orchestrated by a partner.

A limited study by Joan and Dwight Dixon indicate that a number of women engage in gang bang occasions. The study indicates that 92% of women who engage in gang bangs are in a committed relationship, that in 76% of gang bangs the woman's partner is present and that in 55% of gang bangs the partner makes the arrangements for the gang bang. The study also indicates that 42% of women have their gang bangs always videotaped and another 42% have theirs sometimes videotaped.
The study also suggests that first gangbanging experiences shows that the most usual factor involved was a male partner who suggested it, encouraged it, and often instigated it. This was done in a few cases by the male partner offering the woman to his male friends at a party or social event of some kind.[2]
The gang bang has many variants, the male version is called Boybang[3] where a man has concurrent relationships with many women.
Though there have been pornographic films featuring gang bangs, they usually involve no more than six to twelve men; a gang bang requires a minimum of three men (two men would be considered a tag team).
Starting with The World's Biggest Gangbang (1995), starring Annabel Chong and Matt Asher, the pornographic industry began producing a series of films ostensibly setting gang bang records for most consecutive sex acts by one person in a short period.[4]
