Even more so: When "ancillary work" to "task work" ratio is high. For example, to start you spend 20m getting the local developer setup for that repo working because the docs are out of date, and then because the repo is rarely used another 45m updating node dependencies and wrangling webpack to satisfy new security warnings. Then 5 minutes of actual work: you add a new form field and update some CSS. Now wait 50 minutes for the CI to pass so you can merge your work. No exaggeration -- these scenarios were common at my previous job.
