Funny how things work; anytime I’ve ever quoted a piece of development work, it always seems to make sense to double what you really think it should take. After 10 years experience in the field, this rule has never failed; you may get the work done sooner, but you always seem to use the time allocated in productive and meaningful ways. Is there a name for this rule? It would be nice to name it after myself, but certainly I’m by far not the first to figure this out.
