I thought an evidence-based guess was called a hypothesis.
Anyway, my problem with scientific analysis of my work habits has always been the observation phase. I can keep timesheets, but that turns out not to be useful data because I only keep timesheets reliably when I'm full of energy. When I'm full of energy, I'm more productive at everything.
- michaelneale 19y agoThat would be consistent with my experience.
- aston 19y agoEmpiricism, yes.
- michaelneale 19y ago??
- aston 19y agoYou agreed about empiricism by using your own empirical evidence.
- michaelneale 19y agoYeah but I don't get why you are pointing that out? Am I missing something?
- Goladus 19y agoYou posted an evidence-based conclusion.
- michaelneale 19y agoI didn't think it was a conclusion, just agreement based on experience.
- qaexl 19y agoI have the same experience too. However, when I run though what Joel was talking about, you create a feature list with the estimate first. Keeping track of the time you spent on a feature means going down the list and putting down how much time you spent on it. Keeping track of time by just entering in a log has always been problematic for me. And not having to keep track of interruptions is even better.
