I lived with this Mark Cerny rule for a few decades, and it was mostly true. But finally after I'm over 50 I came to proper and good estimates now. Mostly because I'm a much more experienced now. 2d == 1.5d, 1w == 5d and so on.

But game programming is like architecture. There's so much more to do.

Can you explain a bit more? I'm intrigued. What does 2d == 1.5d mean? Was that how close you were nailing your estimates? If so, how did you get to that point?
