At the beginning of my first project I was pretty bad at time estimation, but it got better over time and when I was aware of tooking all impediments into account, like the server often was down, deployment takes about an hour where I check the first time if my code is still running as expected or even for the first time seeing it run; Sudden more important tasks were coming up, meetings.

After a while I multiplicated my estimation by 2 or 3 and it was more precise to make the PM happy.
