Hi Dylan — sure, that would be possible. To be honest, I’ve been steering clear of the whole idea of task estimation for the past few years. I’ve generally found it to be a total waste of time and productive energy. Main beneficiaries seem to be middle managers who get to keep their jobs and try to seem useful by graphing burn-down rates and other such nonsense.

I mean, sorry if you’re a Scrum Master or similar and invested in this stuff, I don’t mean to piss on anyone’s chips, but I do find the whole thing a bit farcical. Grown human adult creative types doing incredibly complex and difficult tasks, allowing themselves to be managed in bi-weekly cycles like kindergarteners.

I’m sure there’s something in there, but in general I really don’t see the point much in this kind of estimation, unless perhaps it’s about managing remote teams — but even then! Build a human relationship, figure things out, don’t waste time with this crap. Productivity is for robots.

At least on this point, I’m with Kevin Kelly — https://www.andre-meyer.ch/kevin-kelly-humans-are-good-at-inefficiency-productivity-is-for-robots/
