Throwing bodies at a problem doesn't always scale. There are many difficult problems that do not get easier by throwing more juniors or mid level engineers at them.

Having just worked my behind off for the last months to deliver on an impossible deadline, successfully: more bodies definitely would have helped.
Even just to keep the fluff off my back and to allow me to fully concentrate on what's important.
The situation will repeat itself in 6 months and I'm not going to do that again. Hiring now would fix that.
