Team estimated a huge feature with 60 days. Made a prototype in a day, implemented it in the project the next day. Code looks a lot cleaner than a previous similar solution.

Now it’s 90% done. Should have worked with 2 other people. Oh well, sorry not sorry for that teamwork.

    Next 58 days you will be forced to hammer it down until it looks worse than the other similar solution

    Thats...
    The 80/20 rule + required QA.
    still - 2d*9=18d + 7d QA is far less then the 60d estimated.

    Either the "team" is not taking developers' opinion before estimating the feature timeline, or you need to get wayy better at estimating.
