| 2026-05-22 05:04:57 +0000 | <Inst> | that is what i worry about minimal scope, if you do minimal scope, you're not future proofing, and you're giving yourself a harder problem of retrofitting features in |
| 2026-05-22 05:04:53 +0000 | <sm> | that's a good mindsent |
| 2026-05-22 05:04:24 +0000 | <Inst> | I refactored my core authn authz 3 times ;_; |
| 2026-05-22 05:04:15 +0000 | <Inst> | and I tested it |
| 2026-05-22 05:04:12 +0000 | <Inst> | the problem is, I have a mindset of prototype then iterate |
| 2026-05-22 05:04:04 +0000 | <Inst> | hmmmm |
| 2026-05-22 05:03:30 +0000 | <sm> | I used to work with the founder of Heroku, a very good programmer, and he was a master at dynamically downsizing his goal in real time until it became easy |
| 2026-05-22 05:02:37 +0000 | <Inst> | as placeholders |
| 2026-05-22 05:02:36 +0000 | <sm> | you can always reduce scope |
| 2026-05-22 05:02:24 +0000 | <Inst> | I've already decided to plug in off the shelf software for this |
| 2026-05-22 05:02:24 +0000 | <sm> | you're not |
| 2026-05-22 05:02:17 +0000 | <Inst> | I mean I'm already working at the minimum scope |
| 2026-05-22 05:01:12 +0000 | <sm> | what if you reduce scope, estimate and work on smaller chunks |
| 2026-05-22 05:00:50 +0000 | <Inst> | I have Parkinson's Law for estimates, if I don't make them aggressive, I waste time, but if I do make them aggressive, I miss targets. |

| 2026-05-22 05:00:14 +0000 | <Inst> | second derivative skills are what's repeatable |
| 2026-05-22 05:00:02 +0000 | <Inst> | i honestly have no interest in writing servant servers 49382 times to get good at it, the point i'm interested in right now is rapid library pickup |
| 2026-05-22 04:59:57 +0000 | <sm> | I imagine estimating is still going to be hard and usually longer than you think, it always is |
| 2026-05-22 04:59:43 +0000 | <Inst> | ya |
| 2026-05-22 04:59:27 +0000 | <sm> | maybe you need to refine your techniques a little more ? read how successful folks are managing it ? |
| 2026-05-22 04:58:37 +0000 | <Inst> | AI project management is giving me ridiculous timetables, albeit I end up estimating completion within 48 hours that usually turns into 168 |
| 2026-05-22 04:57:54 +0000 | <sm> | I don't want to advocate AI use, but that's exactly where people are having success with it |
| 2026-05-22 04:57:51 +0000 | <Inst> | 3 weeks for the Authn / Authz |
| 2026-05-22 04:57:41 +0000 | <Inst> | took me a week to get the OIDC spoofer up |
| 2026-05-22 04:57:36 +0000 | <Inst> | it's just terrible for me because I think up features way faster than I can implement |
| 2026-05-22 04:57:15 +0000 | <sm> | especially in the new AIge... timetables are crazy now |
| 2026-05-22 04:57:11 +0000 | <Inst> | you know what you're doing, I'm hiring people who are probably hiding the fact that this is their first Haskell project |
| 2026-05-22 04:56:51 +0000 | <Inst> | wish i had a budget for you, SM |
| 2026-05-22 04:56:39 +0000 | <sm> | we sure don't know :) |
| 2026-05-22 04:56:32 +0000 | <sm> | then it takes as long as it takes, right ? try and you'll find out |
| 2026-05-22 04:56:27 +0000 | <Inst> | as a customer acquisition front for a start-up |
| 2026-05-22 04:56:22 +0000 | <Inst> | i'm building a guild website and a gaming guild |

| 2026-05-22 04:56:09 +0000 | <sm> | Inst what's your situation ? Are you doing this as employee, business owner, hobbyist ? |
| 2026-05-22 04:56:01 +0000 | <Inst> | I don't know frontend, and I have someone hired to help me with the frontend |
| 2026-05-22 04:55:51 +0000 | <Inst> | I need centralized libs, simplified route.ts files, etc |
| 2026-05-22 04:55:37 +0000 | <Inst> | In actuality, I'm discovering I need to hand refactor the AI codebase anyways |

| 2026-05-22 04:39:46 +0000 | <Inst> | What kind of time budget can I expect for this? |
| 2026-05-22 04:39:27 +0000 | <Inst> | as well as a scheduling and coordination system that can track user activity, allows invites, and event generation |
