@igorpianist.bsky.social 👋🏻. Ich bin zufällig über deinen „Alles Gesagt“ Podcast aus 2020 gestolpert. Die anderen 4 Stunden werden mich bestimmt ein paar Tage auf dem Fahrrad zur Arbeit begleiten.

Ground rule of #forecasting when you don’t have a reference class:

Try it for the next project or task you you estimate time for.
