- luckylion 4y agoIt's probably correct, but now the problem just moved to accurately scoring each task on a variety of scales. What I find more and more is that it's very hard to see beyond the tasks and figure out side effects of finishing some task or feature because it quickly gets very complex and if you spend time on really thinking it all through to the point where you're certain about the right order, you probably could've knocked half of the tasks out already instead of studying their relationships and long-term effects.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoIt's trying to leverage mathematics to make correct decisions, but missing the point that the choice of mathematical function is entirely arbitrary. There are literally an infinite number of scoring functions that take three parameters. There's no reason why picking any one of them would give a reasonable priority of tasks, other than some mysterious mathematical astrology, while aimed to reduce the amount of intuitive guessing is composed entirely of intuitive guessing.
