Well, maybe not if you're jumping to a new platform, API, framework, language, or library each time you start a project.

Well, maybe not if you're jumping to a new platform, API, framework, language, or library each time you start a project.
- HeyLaughingBoy 11y agoHow long did it take to jump to the last new platform? How long for the last new API, last new language, framework, library? If you had historical data on how things went the last time you did these things, you'd be better positioned to estimate how long it will take this time.
- Retra 11y agoMaybe if you're not making anything with any kind of novelty.
- HeyLaughingBoy 11y agoAt some point, everything is similar to something you've done before. The difficulty is relating what you're doing now to what you did before. If you go into it assuming that your work is some special snowflake that is completely novel in all respects, you'll get nothing out of it. Find parallels with what you've done before and you can actually make an estimate that's an improvement over a SWAG.
