I had a conversation about estimates during a recent interview. I asked about how the company deals with those, and the interviewer said they don't do estimates because there's never been a time where something productive came out of one, and I think it makes sense. In my experience, when an estimate is spot on the world goes on as if nothing happened. When it's incorrect, all hell breaks loose and it's every man for himself. And at the end of the day, all of the blame ends up on the person who guessed wrong. I'm glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.
