A lot of #creative work abides #ParkinsonsLaw: work expands to fit the available time.
But software development is a peculiar type of creative endeavor: more often than not, the time must expand to fit the work.

#DidYouKnow: #ParkinsonsLaw is the adage that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion".
It first appeared as the opening line in an article for "The Economist" (1955) and later becoming the focus of one of Parkinson's books, "Parkinson's Law: The Pursuit of Progress".
It is sometimes applied to the growth of bureaucracy in an organization.

@mamund 🧵C. Northcote Parkinson ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I also like Parkinson’s Law of Triviality, aka the bicycle-shed effect:
“The time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum [of money] involved."
A Board of Directors will argue far longer about a proposal to build a new bicycle shed than one to build a nuclear reactor.

"Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion" -- C. Northcote Parkinson, 1957
i pull out Parkinson's book of essays at least once a year just for the pleasure of reading his pithy observations about post WWII administrative culture.

Stop believing I'm #ParkinsonsLaw. It was just a joke. Funny, nevertheless, but still a 1955 joke.

Parkinson's law of triviality:
"Refers to an imaginary committee whose members are asked to decide on proposals for a nuclear power plant and a new bike shed. Lacking expertise in nuclear power, the committee nods the plant through. Where everyone is an authority, like the bike shed, endless debate ensues."
