People use software estimates as predictions and treat them as commitments. This leads to a lot of unnecessary pressure and issues. Estimates are just estimates 🤷🏾‍♂️ . This article explains what a plan is, what estimates are, and what a commitment is bulama.io/software-estim…

Even though both involve building, the skills required to build a hut aren’t the same skills required to build a skyscraper. Size also matters in software development. The larger the project the larger the codebase and the more moving parts there’ll be. bulama.io/size-matters-i…
