"9 WOMEN CAN'T DELIVER A BABY IN A MONTH"
Re:Watching an acquirer ruin your company by labster on Sunday July 03, 2022 @02:03AM (#31965465)
So how many women do we need, like 15? Maybe a Scrum master who knows the Lamaze method?

We should setup three day workshop about it. And of course invite no women to it.

If you hire enough women, one of them will produce a baby within a month.

See, we just need that 9x dev.

Once they've shown they can do it once it's perfectly reasonable to bet the entire business on them doing it the next month.

Oh, and also, the diversity team have noticed we have hired a lot of young people so we're only hiring over-50s this year.

That's true. A team of 20 women can easily produce one baby a month.

Nine women can't, but the people who like to say "nine women can't produce a baby in a month" are almost never trying to tell you that you can fix your problem by expanding your team to the appropriate size.

Acquiring the competitor is a valid strategy but you need both money and a competitor.

There is no doubt Scrum is the answer here. We should also use story points. Then it can't fail.
