To clarify a distinction which DHH doesn't explicitly make in that post: we collectively suck at project-level estimates, but most developers eventually become fairly reliable at feature-level estimates, provided they're familiar with the code base in question.
- tvink 2y agoI feel developers get habits on the kinds of estimates they throw, but at least for anything that isn't straight duplication, I can't say that I've seen much reliability in them. But to be honest, I've also not tracked time to complete in a way that would rule out my bias, as I find that kind of creepy and besides the point.
