Should Developers estimate project time & cost? 1 points by DonCarlitos 15y ago ↗ HN How realistic is it to expect a team of developers to estimate the time & cost of a project?
[–] Animus7 15y ago ↗ Depends on the project.If it's something common and done to death, it makes sense to expect a timeline and cost.If you're trying to innovate, such estimates are a kiss of death.
