Hahaha thank you 😄 This reminds me of another story.
We once had a company hackathon where we built a small project prototype in about 8 hours. I was responsible for the frontend there, helped the backend guys a bit, and also pushed hard on the visual side so it actually looked polished 😄
Then the company voted for the winner… and not only did we lose, but a few days later I got criticized by the CEO because I estimated a real project on the same topic at at least one month of work.
And the CEO literally said:
“But guys delivered it during the hackathon IN ONE DAY!” 😂
Then I reminded him that I was actually the person who delivered that hackathon frontend too.
And suddenly his reaction changed to:
“Hmmm… maybe we should just improve the hackathon demo then?” 😅
Great post as always!
Nice story about estimation and developer, it reminds me of a theorem about devs:
