Actually forced regurgitating of excrement sounds pretty aligned with project management

We sure this isn't satire?

Could be an elaborate shitpost. I genuinely think some people on that site make terrible posts on purpose for attention.

Honestly feels more like AI to me. "Write an article about project management using a random movie as a source of important lessons"

[–] Mirodir@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 5 months ago

Also if we give it the benefit of the doubt (and it really is a stretch to make this work lol): I could make the argument that this person meant to write: "The movie has such a terrible premise, yet it was successful enough to have two sequels. Learning how it got that success despite the material's premise taught me these 5 things about product management:" and just worded it terribly.

ChatGPT:

"Project Management Lessons from 'The Shawshank Redemption': Building Success Against All Odds"

Article Summary:
"in the article parallels are drawn between the challenges faced by Andy Dufresney in the iconic movie and the principles of effective project management. key lessons include the importance of resilience and determination in overcoming obstacles, the strategic use of resources to achieve long-term goals, and the value of building strong relationships and alliances to support project success." etc. etc.

Finally, content worth reading on LinkedIn The comment, I mean. I can't care for their five reasons for whatever.

[–] mearce@programming.dev 21 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You mean these reasons?

  1. It's important to start small and iterate The film centres around Dr Heiter's ambitious plan. His MVP involved "connecting" 3 dogs. The experiment didn't work out well but gave him invaluable information for his next attempt. PM takeaway: Start small & iterate

  2. Concentrate on the problem, not the solution Dr Heiter spent so long trying to determine whether he could perform his operation that he forgot to coherently explain why he even wanted to do it. PM takeaway: Don't get obsessed with technology. Concentrate on use cases.

  3. Sustainability is important It didn't take long before the victims of his scheme started to suffer from his short-term thinking & poor hygiene practices. PM takeaway: Even the best product has tech debt - you need a plan to mitigate it

  4. Communication is everything Dr Heiter reduced his chance of getting timely user feedback by only allowing one of his victims, a Japanese man, the ability to speak. Crucially, Heiter didn't speak Japanese. PM takeaway: Give everyone a voice & be aware of cultural differences

  5. Where there's a will there's a way Dr Heiter was eventually thwarted through a combination of the efforts of his victims and local law enforcement. They battled incredible odds to "win" the day. PM takeaway: Even when times are hard, sometimes you have to keep pushing

Wouldn't it make more sense for the Lego man head to fit into alternating butt slots instead of the left one only? This way the centipede doesn't list to the left.

The better solution is to use a two-to-one flat adapter piece to make sure each person is centered behind the next.

[–] monsterpiece42@reddthat.com 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't have that type of two-to-one in LEGO bricks. You'd need a 1x2 plate and then plug the head stud into the middle indexing pin of said plate.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

LEGO should make one. And if not ᴛʜᴇɴ ᴡᴇ ꜱʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴩʀɪɴᴛ ᴏɴᴇ.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why? The method described above already does the needed task perfectly, and without needing to design and produce a new part. Did you learn nothing from The Human Centipede (2009)?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

Generally, because every new tool on the wall will have uses beyond its original function.

Cut a small cutout of the head's "o" and fit each head in between butt slots.

I can't believe the lad went full steam ahead and kept the ideas going alongside the movie! I thought it would've been just a click bait kind of post
