The whole thing started on the Midwest Dev Chat Slack, when someone posted a screenshot from their work Slack that read:
The fact that we only have "Herculean task" and "Sisyphean task" feels so limiting. So here's a few more tasks for your repertoire:From those first screenshots it took off, with the wits on Midwest Dev Chat adding more:Icarian Task: When you have a task you know is going to fail anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down.Cassandrean Task: When you have to deal with people you know won't listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start.
Odyssean Task: You'll complete but it will take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures.
