note · on estimating solo work

We estimate our own side projects as if we were a company — as if a team had already weighed the options and decided this was the right thing to build.

Solo, that machinery doesn't exist. Building your own products demands far more than coding. The estimate is the smallest of your problems; knowing what's worth building at all is the real one.

What hangs here isn't a category of work — it's the evidence of what happens in this room. The same note may also be a Ledger row or a Glossary headword; it's authored once.
