Re:The myth of software development time estimation on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @08:23AM (#14202352)
Going to have to say it... I really cannot stand this pseudo intellectual writing style. The article is written like you just discovered a Thesaurus. Good writing is clear, concise, and simple. This section:

>Even if we completely ignore the “human” element at play in the development cycle, the notion that we could come up with accurate software development time estimations is the quintessential unrealistic expectation — a fool’s errand. Its intractability comes not from incompetency or from a lack of discipline, but from a deep-seated, fundamental limitation imposed on our reality and codified in the proof of the Church-Turing thesis

Is just painful..
