This isn't good because of a famous observation in software development:

Brooks's Law:

"Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later."

 

The reason for this is because any new people coming into a project midstream are useless until they're brought up to speed. This means that the people who have been working on the project have to interrupt their workflow to help the new people understand the state of the project.

Bringing in part time help would be even worse because they would never be completely up to date on the project.
