Hello,
I don't work that way. Most of the time, I am first thinking
about something for quite long time trying to put all things together in
my mind.
I usually think about many different features in
parallel.
Once thinking process is completed I can start actual coding
which usually takes much less time than thinking and is usually
completed
in one step (when I start coding I usually end up with
completed thing without intermediate stages). So
percentages do not work here.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

What about giving an estimate say every month
for the remaining time of important modules like the AFL Wizard, AB
Portfolio etc. Tomasz ? Perhaps on the Wish List Page in the following form
: 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% done. Just to give us an idea where you
are ...
BTW thanks for the last update. I like it
...
Kind regards,
Ton Sieverding.

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,
