Software is like gardening https://blog.codinghorror.com/tending-your-software-garden/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/tending-your-software-garden/ The reality is that your ability to break things down depends on experience. I’ve built so many landing pages, for example, that I can tell you an exact breakdown of tasks. Been a part of so many SaaSes, I can tell you exactly what non-core features you’ll need, when, and how much work they are. I can also predict where you’ll hiccup. But ask me to build something new that’s never been done before (at least by me) and the most I can do is shrug and guess. Maybe give you a rough sketch of an outline of subtasks.
