The Four Horsemen Of Software Estimation

Content What's your secret that could literally ruin your life if it came out? I'm a Senior Software Engineer working for groundbreaking new super secretive projects for one of the companies in the top 10 of the Fortune 500. And 1 actually don't have the faintest clue what I'm doing. I Google almost everything and string things together in a sorta sensible way, and people are happy as can be for some reason. By now I'm pretty sure I'm in a social experiment, or maybe l'm the village idiot they have to entertain so that I don't go outside and break things that matter. They call it "imposter syndrome" but like, really, guys. I really don't know what the hell I'm doing. It's just Google answering my endless stream of questions. I only successfully passed the job interview because they gave me plenty of time (without me doing it live) to work on their job-interview-assignment. My six-figure salary feels so unjust. I often see people working at a fast food joint who seem smarter than I am. And I could set fire to a kettle boiling water; they're at least flipping burgers, which I can't do without causing gender-reveal-esque disasters.

The gaming industry's classic bait-and-switch cycle perfectly captured in Winnie the Pooh form. First, we get hyped by the slick marketing guy in a suit promising revolutionary features. Then we're seduced by the passionate developer swearing "it's different this time." Finally, we throw our money at the exec who's laughing all the way to the bank while shipping a buggy mess. Yet here we are, credit cards ready for the next pre-order. It's like we're running the same broken unit test expecting different results.

Ah, the perfect crime! The programmer wrote code so illegible that not even he could explain it to the authorities. The real criminal offense wasn't whatever got him detained—it was his refusal to write comments in his spaghetti code. Bet his teammates already wanted him locked up anyway. The ultimate job security: code so cryptic that firing you would be corporate suicide.
