I’ve developed a bit of a reputation inside and outside work as being pretty good with “saying no” and setting boundaries. In this post, I will help you do so, too.| Mike McQuaid
I’m currently working on an internal GitHub project where, for a change, my estimations have been wildly off. Before this project, I’d had a good multi-year streak of never overshooting my estimates and consistently hitting deadlines. This overshoot, combined with some recent reading, has made me think about hidden complexities of software estimation and what I didn’t consider when making my estimates. These are in a rough order from “most obvious” to “least obvious”.| Mike McQuaid
