"Devs are famously bad at estimating how long a software project will take."

    We’re the only ones that can get hyper focused and also hyper fixated on why a switch statement is failing when it includes a for loop until finding out there’s actually a compiler bug, and if you leave a space after the bracket it somehow works correctly.
