It's always two rules... - 80/20. Yeah, much of it goes quicly. But the devil is in the details, and those add up, especially when you're staring into the abyss of an unknown. - I learned this early on in my career. It applies to just about all projects, not only software. "It'll take twice as long (and cost twice as much) as your original back of the envelope estimate." I wish I had $20 for everytime I saw this come true. With that kinda money Bezos and Zuck would be working for me :)
