> Personally, I find it a bit pathetic and childish. I say this as a long time software engineer who knows perfectly well how this business works. How does this business work? Why is software special? This happens the same in construction and other industries. The estimates usually make 0 sense and there are often huge delays. Same as store openings, film production, etc. There's a problem with tinkering and devs going off in the wrong direction but on the flip side when people say that something is done in an hour or a day often never happens. Managers and agile practices that want tasks broken done to the smallest atom just messes things up. To make things work product often never has accurate requirements to that detail either so that complicates things even more. The requirements change on the fly.
