If anything has ever given me direction/a path in life it’s probably randomness and odds of something, so should I start a cult of probability?

    Yeah preset timelines only really work with repetitive labor where you do the same thing every time and it takes the same amount of time every time.

    One of my projects at work is so huge, I was asked for a timeline and had to tell them if they want a realistic timeline, it’ll be a week uninterrupted to work on coming up with one for them. They proceeded to ask chatgpt for a timeline, and it spat one out that is most likely about an order of magnitude shorter than it’s going to take us to do.

      oh yeah and there are plenty of. how long to do X. where its a common or straight forward thing and then timeline is no problem. But whent its about getting a solution going or integrating a system that is nonstandard (which somehow they always are) its ugh.
