How long should apps take to build? Im being told 2 hrs min, 1 wk max...did I miss something or am I just slow?

Oh, btw, ANY app goes. Not just web/mobile....😒

I'm not sure this question makes sense. When you say it takes 2 hours minimum, do you mean the ant/mvn/gradle build to finish building the app?

If not, then there is no straight answer. Go through the requirements, talk to a developer who has built apps in the past, get their guestimates. If you don't have such a developer to consult with, then you will find it out when you finish building the app

@asgs I meant my boss thinks EVERYTHING should take only a min of 2 hrs and a Max of a week to complete. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

What? No.

Yes it takes 2 hours to build a hello world app

@DivSyntax Ah, now I feel too dumb

@asgs It's all good, dude.

FWIW, I once worked on a particular project that could be built in various different configurations. Configuring the build system was horrendously complex, and it took *forever* to build. In that case, the guidance really was "if it's taken less than an hour to build, then that's way too fast and you must have forgotten to configure something."

That's a pretty specialist situation though, and one that's increasingly irrelevant these days. Unless you're working on one of these projects in particular, your boss is a complete moron.

@AlmondSauce Thank you!! Me and the senior dev says the same. It's soooo ridiculous. He thinks everything is "sooooo simple." And shouldn't take long to do. Yet, he keeps adding requirements to the projects.
