How It Goes

When you're a solo game developer, you're not just coding—you're the entire orchestra. One person desperately trying to handle game design, programming, art, sound, marketing, and bug fixing simultaneously. It's that special kind of chaos where your Git commit messages gradually evolve from "Implemented player movement" to "PLEASE WORK" at 4AM. The best part? When someone asks how your "little hobby" is going, and you're too exhausted to explain you haven't seen sunlight in three weeks.

The four horsemen of software estimation in their natural habitat! The noob, still bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, thinks everything can be done in a day. Bless their optimistic little heart. The junior dev has learned to pad estimates—3 days should cover those unexpected Stack Overflow deep dives and the inevitable "why isn't this working?!" moments. The senior dev doesn't even bother with numbers anymore. Just grunts "uhh... size: story" because they've been burned too many times by the cosmic law that states: however long you think it'll take, multiply by π and add a random number of meetings. And finally, the principal engineer, who's seen enough estimation disasters to last twelve careers, is genuinely shocked people are still playing this dark ritual of pretending we can predict the future. "You guys give estimates??" Translation: "I stopped playing that game years ago when I realized software estimation is just astrology for programmers."
