Replying to @hillelogram

What are your thoughts on generally biased-short estimates being a symptom of partial understanding/specification rather than an intrinsic problem with estimating?

Sun Jan 24 23:47:46 +0000 2021


Replying to @hillelogram

Agreed. I also think there are some Hyrum-law aspects that are harder to formalize, but we should keep trying to make specs & estimates better :)

Mon Jan 25 00:28:58 +0000 2021


Replying to @jhscott and @hillelogram

Also agree :)

Not all software is the same and IMO even estimates for “equivalent” software don’t port across orgs/systems.

I’m frustrating myself saying “it depends” for everything.
