I'm going to use that title on the next conversations I have about estimates, in particular in the context of 'we need to know that this piece of work will be started in 4 months and finished in 8'. Those conversations definitely ſuck for me.

- gascoigne 3y agoSurely if you have story pointed and T-shirt sized your epics correctly that shouldn't be difficult? /s
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y ago> T-shirt sized your epics That one’s new to me. Does it mean if I wear an XL my epics can have more story points?
- gascoigne 3y agoCalculating story points based on the size of the t-shirt you're wearing that day might actually yield more realistic results. In my case every story would become an XL! :)
- js8 3y agoThough you should also remember "who lusts for promotion lusts for telling lies".
- hinkley 3y agoPower attracts the corruptible.
- CapitalistCartr 3y agoOnly one goal can be first. If you want to set absolute dates, all other requirements must be subordinate to that. In which case, sure, we can absolutely meet it.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoThere's that classic poster that you see in almost every auto mechanic's shop. Good Fast Cheap Pick 2
- nuancebydefault 3y agoNot so rarely, you even need to settle for picking 1
- qup 3y agoAnd "good and cheap" isn't an option except on very rare occasions. Especially at the mechanic shop, but honestly anywhere.

- fenomas 3y agoAnd boo, incidentally, to whomever changed the HN title - from the most memorably evocative title this site has ever seen to one of the blandest.
- etrevino 3y agoWhat was it? I arrived too late.
- fenomas 3y agoSorry, HN previously had TFA's actual title - "Who Lusts for Certainty Lusts for Lies".
- etrevino 3y agolol, that's pretty good, I agree with you.
- djsavvy 3y agoLooks like it's been changed back! What was the "bland" title in the middle?
- Intralexical 3y ago"Google Ngram Viewer n-grams are wrong".
- brookst 3y agoOuch. Glad they reverted. Dec 7, 1941: “200,000 tons of steel relocated to sea floor”
- scubbo 3y agoI, uhhhh.....I would like to know what TFA is meant to stand for, because I assume it is not "the ſucking article", but that was my first thought. Maybe "featured"? Google is only giving me "Teach For America" or "Trade Facilitation Agreement".
- 1970-01-01 3y agoAt first glance, I thought it was a translated Latin phrase. desiderat certum, desiderat falsitates
- 4sak3n 3y agoI'm pretty sure that you are correct. Or at the very least it is a reference to that specific aphorism. The title is far too idiomatically Latin (if you overlook the awkwardness with the syntactic subject) to be a coincidence.
- jklinger410 3y agoThis title is an absolute banger
- hinkley 3y agoIf it needs to be done in 8 they’re gambling if it’s not done in six. They want to be the ones doing all the gambling, not you. And the more the insist on lies the more misinformed they will be.
