    The Chicken and the Pig

    The fable of the Chicken and the Pig is used to illustrate the differing levels of commitment from project stakeholders involved in a project. The basic fable runs:

    A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.
    The Chicken says: “Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!”
    Pig replies: “Hm, maybe, what would we call it?”
    The Chicken responds: “How about ‘ham-n-eggs’?”
    The Pig thinks for a moment and says: “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”

      Damn, that’s a lot fucking darker than I’d thought it’d get on reading the title of the fable.

      I know it’s not the point, but I love the completely arbitrary bit where they’re walking down a road together, and has absolutely no bearing on anything the happens.

    As a software dev who’s participated in a couple of game jams and several group projects,

    • I’d say that anyone that claims to be a designer but has no programming experience is typically incompatible with any project
      • and it’s due to the disconnect of understanding just how difficult it can be to translate certain design tasks into functional code
