Is Pachelbel's Canon considered complicated as far as music performance goes? Reading that knocked me right out of the flow of this article. What's he thinking of? Maybe someone's complicated improvisations on top of the (really simple) canon? On topic: the post didn't really cover where the layperson's base estimate comes from -- a layperson sees X pages, or X features, and multiplies that by... what? The reference they use varies hugely, in my experience; many are trying to imagine what's involved in developing a "feature" -- which yes, will generally be a massive underestimate... not always, though. There are also plenty of laypeople who imagine that everything they see is incredibly complex & difficult to create (I have a neighbor who imagined that writing software meant typing in the gunk he saw when accidentally opening a binary file in notepad), and all written from scratch -- so a simple blog would take ages to build, because it's obviously complicated stuff. In real life, some quite complicated things come for free, other seemingly simple things take gobs of time, sometimes unexpectedly... it's a big mess. And just as some of the harshest wildcards (like nasty bugs in old browsers) are calming down, more form factors, interaction modes, etc. are popping up, so I'm not sure it's going to be a problem we can stop talking about anytime soon.
