Asking me to estimate how long something will take is like asking me to guess how many gumballs are in the jar, but I can’t see the jar.

@adhdjesse "I'll be able to tell you how long it will take when I'm 95% of the way through"
Best I can often offer is "tell me how long you want me to spend investigating before I come back to you with a status report"

@jonjennings @adhdjesse this is the only important question 👍. How much is it worth to you? If you can't afford to wait for me to build a proper solution we should not start it at all.

Taken me a while to educate account managers that "Need you to fix X for this client, there's 0.75hrs on the ticket" doesn't work unless they want to tell me what line the bug is on first :)
