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
