Yes and unfortunatelly it
requires programmer to understand :-)
People may think that I underestimate
things for purpose. No I don't.
At the time when estimate is made there it
is the best I can come up with.
If I were multipling estimates by 2 at
start I would end up with 4 times the original,
simply because when you
have more time you put more things and original idea
becomes bigger than
originally planned. Programming is work of art. It evolves
when you
actually do it.
This is not bakery shop where you can multiply daily
output times number of days for two months
and you have correct estimate
where you will be then with your production.
Plus I am dependent on
thing that are completely out of my control.
During this 2 months 2 real
time providers released 3 new versions of their APIs/
server software with
big changes that require immediate testing/changes.
If such thing
happens I need to drop everything and check to ensure continuity.
In
the background there is also on-going work on new documentation site that you
don't
see now but will be released to the public soon.
In the
meantime I migrated also amibroker.org to a new better server.
Things
like that are not "visible" to the users but take quite a lot of time and can
not
be planned ahead.
Best regards,
Tomasz
