Post

That thing where a thoughtful post gets you to click through to the rest of the blog and it's all web3 and NFT's and you start to question whether you can even tell what's good anymore

This is a great essay. I really appreciate the measure/assumption framing; agree with most of what follows. Something I've struggled with in my org lately is that "effort (point) estimates are based on 'complexity' (of typing code)" but *implicitly* bake in review time commitments for teammates.

If review_time = k * coding_time , k < 1, then this shakes itself out with a team's self-correcting point capacity target at sprint planning. But k >> 1 now. The wrong person is now estimating the wrong part of the problem. This has hamstrung planning accuracy. I need to analyze this better.
