@maaikees@sw-development-is.social Yeah.
After 41 years farting around with computers, truth.
People used to ask me how long things would take to do.
"It'll take us four weeks to do it; it'll take you six months to talk about it."
They thought I was joking.

@the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org @maaikees@sw-development-is.social You couldn't have summed up my job better. Many of my tasks are predominantly about talking with the stakeholders to figure out what they actually want.talking with colleagues to figure out what the idea behind the current code is. The actual theoretical research, coding and fixing review comments is surprisingly fast compared to it.
