#2A bit off topic, but is there a name for this trend to put emoji everywhere? I have some trouble to read like that. There is a kind of Madeleine de Proust though, it feel like children book: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8c/d1/e5/8cd1e583de4c89bf09c4275b2...

#3This model doesn't seem too far removed from academia; at least in the "ideal" sense, ignoring the realities of attracting funding and academic politics. The turtle would go from PhD student to tenured professors; rabbits might be undergrads or non-academic faculty staff; birds might be people like librarians and lab techs.

#4Why do we have to zoomorphize concepts like this? Scrum had it, with the chickens and pigs. To me, it just muddies the understanding of the thing, because you have to remember some story or joke about the origin of the specific zoomorphization. It's also really hard to get people to take the process seriously when the process treats itself like a children's story.

I suppose you need some abstract loosly-related terms that are devoid of meaning baggage, so why not animals? What alternatives are better -- planets? Marvel superheros?

Everything is a metaphor, you probably prefer inanimate metaphors (like channels, pipes, scripts, keys, libraries, etc.) But metaphors involving animals being considered more childish and less serious is purely due to your cultural milieu.

I think it's a marketing trend. The emojis seem like a soft universal language to help people who don't speak English grok broken google translations.
Hoping to hear the name for this trend as it's a very interesting one indeed. Done well it seems like this is definitely the new wave as we continue to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator. Done poorly, well I've done this and will just tell you the results are about as bad as you'd expect.

#8What even is this? Why does it seem to lead to a paid $2000 course? [0] What is the goal, and who is involved? It seems very high minded and deep on the surface, but what are the expected outcomes and timelines of this, system?

I don't think that even works in the ideal -- academics in my experience are something like 45% rabbits and 45% birds, with a small cadre of turtles who manage to survive the politics and bs of academia because their research output is just so strong.

The language component hasn’t occurred to me, but suddenly makes sense. I once supported a customer for whom Google Translate wasn’t helping much, so we resorted to a combination of screenshots, boxes, arrows, and emojis and it ended well :)
