It's the pretence that it's not time that I don't like - not that people try to use it for or need something for time estimations. I often find myself saying things like 'well it's trivial, but it's going to be quite a slog because xyz' - leave it up to someone else how they want to point that. E.g. every single endpoint needs to be reviewed and updated to use appropriate status codes, where previously responses have all been 200 with potential error message. API is already versioned, this will be a breaking change but no need to worry about that or the clients at all. -- low complexity, very time consuming. I suppose high complexity tasks are less often quick, or at least not that you would know in advance (optimise SQL query, identify cause if & fix bug) but certainly low complexity tasks can be very slow.
