Part two of a series on the complexity of estimating in software development, exploring the conceit of estimating the time to move a kitchen were it to contain some cabinets, which themselves might contain other cabinets, and so on.

(An idea brought up on hacker news one day)

How does this model square with the estimation problems we see on a day-to-day basis?

Would love some feedback as I write this - there are a few more pages written and further ones planned in the series

Thanks

Doesn’t account for political problems, time management problems or the ever-present issue of people turning your estimate into a commitment, but sure.
