One practical aspects of prediction is individuals predicting what they can complete in one workday. Walking away from partial work that’s at a good stopping point is always better than walking away from a mess you’ll have to look at again the next day. For multi-day efforts this is an indispensable skill that I believe all successful developers eventually grok.
