The Lego Movie song done right

In case you did not see the movie - this is the original song.

Everything is epic! Everything takes years when you're part of the team!
Everything is complex! We are taking ALL overheads to extreme!
Everything needs meetings! And you sit for hours waiting 10 people speak!
Everything needs planning! You can't just write code and deliver the builds!
Everything is boring! Everyone is acting like they have half of brain.
But paycheck is coming! And we will be back on Monday to do it again!

(repeat infinitely)

Piece of wisdom about problem solving

Just came across, very true:
When it gets to the problem solving there can be three types of people:
  • People, who do the work - hang on to them,
  • People, who think they do the work - direct them and help them,
  • People, who pretend they do work - get rid of them.
in Russian:
Когда возникают трудности, людей можно разделить на три группы:
  • Люди, которые делают дело - держись с ними,
  • Люди, которые думают, что делают дело - направляй их и помогай им,
  • Люди, которые притворяются, что делают дело - избавься от них
The difference between 1st and 2nd is the result. The difference between 2nd and 3rd is the attitude.
