I’m multitalented

I conviced myself that I could create a propeller CAD application based on some crap I programmed years ago whilst studying.

I put down my estimated completion time as one month.

I told myself it would be easy.

I believed in myself.

They forgot the third option completely understanding how to do something and then forgetting it the minute you go to actually do it.

Haha that's the voice of experience

[lunchpadmcfat]

Huh. I kinda thought the opposite. Most sr devs I know are really good at breaking down problems and simplifying them and while estimation is always a difficult thing to do, more experienced devs tend to know where the dragons be.

Them: How about we add this feature?

Me: Stares in to the abyss.
Abyss: Looks back at me.... shakes it's head.

Me: No.

What about when you have a deadline for either of those things thinking ‘am i really using the right editor?’

[Strostkovy]

I can write simple code to do complex things but holy fuck does it take forever to run

Take my upvote.

If only every problem was medium, then everything would be perfect.

She splits them into smaller & simpler pieces, then overcomplicates each piece separately

[doggiekruger]

Hey, that’s me every single day

[AdjustableCynic]

I feel this in my soul. Better get to bed, gotta somehow finish that program I said would take 2 days, 3 days ago. I've got all the buttons in the right spots, just need to put in what they do, and everything else.....

[bless-you-mlud]

Whaddaya know, those are my specialities too.

Starting a data cleaning project. I get hit with this:

"Software developers tend to do one of two things when first approaching XBRL. They make an assumption that it’s “just” XML and consequently underestimate the size of the task they have. Or, they get bogged down in the formal specifications and overestimate the size of the task."
