She go bend she yansh
Deb at Slipstream has a hilarious and insightful entry comparing the skill set required to manage a high-tech project with that required to change a diaper. The match is quite close. My only problem with it is that half the high-tech projects I've worked on have been shit, rather than being designed to contain shit....

What do you mean there is no cat?
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
There used to be a cat

Thanks for the link :)
Yes, I would agree with you. Most of the high-tech projects I've been on or managed have had some element of shit involved. I think it comes with the territory.
