Unfortunately, people who hire software developers have a habit of asking for the impossible. Like when they want you to build a Facebook clone in two weeks for $200. So to appease my clients and managers over the years, I developed a formula to somewhat accurately address the “how long will it take” question. And despite it being a bit tounge-in-cheek, it’s startlingly accurate when you sit down and think about it.
