That would indeed be the worst thing he could do. Coding and posing aren't real bottlenecks overall. They only matter in the end for a week or two while DC is already drawing for the next update. But every day DC doesn't draw is a day lost for the total development of the game. If DC would start posing/animating that time would be lost and 0.19 would take even longer.Which leads us to the posing/animation issue. The fact is, if it's such a bottleneck then DC shouldn't be working on content for the next update, he should be helping with the posing and animation. If something in the development cycle isn't working, fix it!
I'd guess that's actually the reason why he doesn't hire more coders/posers. He can only produce X amount of art and there's no real need to hire more people if they'd sit on their hands half of the time. He did say that he'll hire a second animator though.
