I want to grab the next 23 minutes and 11 seconds to discuss time estimations
summary
Covers problems with relying too heavily on time estimates in software projects, contrasting engineering-level estimates with end-to-end delivery and time-to-market versus fixed calendar deadlines. Discusses risks of pursuing overly precise estimates, types of projects where estimates matter less, and introduces the idea of a "black market of time" as a hidden complication.
