Working on software often requires some estimation of how long tasks will take, but often these numbers are nothing more than gut feelings. I propose we look at the length of the development iteration cycle in order to provide estimates instead of “that seems easy”. Development iteration cycle is writing code and testing it. The length being how long that process takes. On some projects, it can be 10+ minutes. On other projects it can be milliseconds.

If I can’t have hey.com for my work email, but I can at least copy the patterns I like. It’s working out okay after a few weeks. We’ll see how it develops as time goes on. I’ve made two folders, feed and paper trail. I write simple rules that move things into the appropriate folder. Outlook provides a button that allows me to easily move emails into their appropriate destination.

My very first post! Thanks quickstart.
