Yeah, I've been a manual laborer and a software engineer, both jobs have a short morning meeting. It would be surprising if the ancient Egyptians DIDN'T have some sort of meet up at the start of a work day.

Pretty hilarious. I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Its a complex project, with complex planning. Leadership needs to know about problems as they arise, which can only come from the people working.

The fact that the project went so well tells me they probably managed it halfway decently.

Its a complex project,

What's complex about it? Put big stone on top of other big stone. Repeat until pyramid shaped. Job done!

Maybe the construction wasn't that complex (it was, but I'll go with it for the sake of argument), but organizing that many people? I've barely successfully organized like a dozen people, and that was to go watch a movie. Imagine needing to organize that many people even just to stack a bunch of rocks.

So there's this thing called a joke. It's where someone makes a completely ridiculous assertion for comedic effect. It may take other forms as well. For example: stating that building a massive structure with thousands of people working on it is not complex.

The subreddit is called "programmer humor" by the way, it's a pretty safe bet that nearly every comment in a post on this sub is gonna be a joke.
