What I've discovered is that software is craft. Everyone progresses through phases of apprenticeship, journeyman, and master; with the art of "estimation" progressively improving.
Yet when we call it Engineering, we hold ourselves accountable to a different set of expectations.
- ebbv 10y agoIs that supposed to be insightful? The first part is obvious, the second part is nonsense. Neither offers a secret to repeatable, predictable software development. If you're going to make a fantastic claim that you can make software engineering time estimations reliable you should back that up with how you do that. Saying "I've been doing it for a long time and I call it engineering." Is not enough.
