It's an old joke that a project manager is a person who thinks 9 women can deliver a baby in 1 month.

Of course, I just meant the last part

[–] borokov@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Initial reference in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month.

Good book to read BTW. Explain lots of organizational issues we have today.

I was just referring to the last part

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 week ago

I don't think so.

It's just taking the joke another step in that there was no requirement for a baby in the first place, so making one in one month is still stupid.
