How long will this actually take?
Your estimate is missing the same things everyone's is.
I want to build: <describe the feature> My guess is: <your estimate> Break it into tasks and estimate each. Then add the things I've almost certainly forgotten: - Error states, empty states, loading states. - Validation, on both sides. - The mobile layout. - Testing it myself, properly. - Deploying it and finding out what differs in production. Give me a realistic total, and tell me which single task carries the most uncertainty. If my guess is badly out, say so and say why.
Estimates are wrong because they price the happy path. The unhappy paths are usually the larger half of the work.
