I'm sure you can't unless you have a pretty good idea of the size and shape of the project.

- 9rx 2y agoDo the size and shape of your deliverables magically change without warning? Mine never have. Maybe you've lost it all in a hard drive crash? But in that case it is really easy to figure out how long it will take when you have nothing to compile.
- thfuran 2y agoYou've never ended up with significantly more or fewer deliverables at the end of the project than were expected at the start? You've never had a project scrapped 50% (or 100%) of the way through? You've never thought to yourself "just a smidge of boost can't be too hard on the compile time" only to regret it for the next few years?
- 9rx 2y agoI fail to see the significance of the past here. Per the comment in question, the deliverables have already been delivered. The size and shape is known. All that is left to do is to get shovels in the ground (i.e. compile it).
