About this episode
Yak Shaving is a term used to describe the conclusion of the often frustrating trail of seemingly never-ending tasks that becomes apparent when trying to complete one simple task - that you thought was going to be quick and easy.
In the podcast, we apply it to software coding, project management, family holidays, winning The Apprentice and more...
Jono also references another sketch that covers Hofstadter's Law.
