Boss: "How much time do you get this bug fixed?"
Me: "Give me 20 minutes"

I suck doing estimates 😥

I really dont know who was the first one to attach time estimate with bug fixing. he must be a fking ahole.

I know the feels. Except my boss is used to it by now since we all do it. Starting to wonder if any dev can make accurate estimates.

Gonna ask this q here

Always give estimates in hours. Minimum 4. 2 hours if you are really confidant.

Always triple any honest estimate you make. I mean real honest one, something you're confident about. Triple the amount. Always.

This morning I fixed a bug in about 30 minutes...After deployment, coffee, twitter, 3 more tangential-but-critical bug fixes, coffee, and another deployment -- well, the day was mostly gone.

This is why I always try to give estimates in half-day increments.

how is it possible to make a n accurate estimate of a bug, you can only make one for fixing after you find it.

Join the club :( The only time I can give accurate estimates is when I know the code inside out and just worked with it. And then still...
