For now, googling for the video (which is broken) results only in hits to BoingBoing :thinking:

Can’t see the video, but surely, it is supposed to be parodying David Attenborough? He is the nature documentary guy. Richard (his brother) was an actor probably most famous for his role as the CEO of Jurassic Park.

It’s OK. The project lead was a woman and that totally makes up for it. [/sarcasm]

That is some seriously shitty project management. Who puts their whole team on a single bug by putting a sticky on the wall? Inefficient.

One wonders if our interpretation of group behavior of animals in the wild is just as flawed…

It’s part of an ad for a (Norwegian, IIRC) company, and the tagline is something to the effect of “our competitors are this silly but we’re better”.

A Lancashire David Attenborough perhaps, but not the David Attenborough.

Honestly, the “look” of the developers is one of the most accurate part of the video.
