Beeee careful. I suspect Threaded has an apiary the size of Wales.

There is no honey left for any bee though.

And an ego the size of Scotland.

Interesting diatribe. Also sounds like another load of typical Threaded Bull(tm).

Have you ever actually kept bees?

Well that's understandable.

He's a very-well-built rambo squirrel and you are a thin, pallid, tape monkey.

That's a deeper insight than your usual one.

Thanks Milan.

Well, after reading this thread I would just like to thank many of the contributors for making me astonished at how the minimal level of general knowledge that is required to get by as a contractor is constantly dropping.

I suspect that if I were to suggest that some of you just take a little while out to actually watch some bees working, it may initially require a course in "bee identification".

Common misconceptions.

1) Bee society is flat layered. No, it is in fact pyrimidal, and behave more like an agressive sales unit, i.e. if you don't keep up targets you lose the office and the fancy car.

2) In Bee society everyone gets a share. No, if you don't produce, comes a down turn, you're literally pushed out of the door. Ask any drone in Autumn...

3) In Bee society everyone is a daughter of the queen. No, in the best performing hives the top foragers and scouts are generally recruited from other hives, and literally by word of mouth they recruit other good foragers and scouts.

+5 honey-coated geek points to threaded for this lesson in bee society.

Making honey is business as usual and does not require project management. It is service management.

There are an awful lot of people doing "business as usual" and claiming to be PMs.

A project is the act of changing something from one steady state to another, for example, converting the hive to marmalade production. A project manager is someone who knows how to do this with a relatively greater chance of success than Joe Public.

But there ain't that many people with 'Project Manager' on their CV that can do that kind of business change successfully.

Ergo, most "project managers" are, indeed, pants because they are not really project managers.

And most development is making simple changes to already established code that's been around for 20 years and even has comment blocks in it so that you don't have to think about what a programme already does.

Ergo, most developers are pants, because they aren't developing anything new.

Bee hives don't have 'project manager' bees.
