Why does everyone accept time estimates are accurate outside of software? Has no one hired a contractor to build out a bathroom, paint a few walls? Commissioned an artist for a sculpture? It's my experience that anything that can run over schedule will...why do developers get so much flak for it?
- colordrops 7y agoI work at a company with dozens of hardware and analysis teams, and software is one small group making up not even 5% of the company, but we are never the bottleneck. Our estimates are usually the most accurate of anyone. If we have a problem in a design, we don't have an entire supply chain to modify.
