http://blog.hut8labs.com/coding-fast-and-slow.html
Coding, Fast and Slow: Developers and the Psychology of Overconfidence. April 22, 2013. I’m going to talk today about what goes on in inside developers’ heads when they make estimates, why that’s so hard to fix, and how I personally figured out how to live and write software (for very happy business owners) even though my estimates are just as brutally unreliable as ever. But first, a story. It was the insert time period that will not make me seem absurdly old , and I was a young developer. I have vivid ...
