- cJ0th 10y agoI'd say ~ 5 Engineers working for ~ 3.5 months (I calculated the geometric mean of the numbers both of you have given, in case you're wondering ;) )
- vidarh 10y agoGenerallly my approach if engineers disagree significantly on a timeline is to multiply the worst case estimate by a large factor, on the assumption that odds are good it means neither one has a clue what the actual complexity is if they don't manage to get to rough agreement...
- wott 10y agoAbsolutely impossible. There is hardware involved. I'd say something like 3 people for 6 months to 1 year (not all 3 being needed 100% of the time).
