Would you like some optimism or realism with your estimate, sir?
Scout APM helps PHP developers pinpoint N+1 queries, memory leaks & more so you can troubleshoot fast & get back to coding faster. In these last three years, I've been estimating (and building) lots of features for one specific project.
I usually multiply my original idea by a factor of 2, and that seems to result in accurate, small-scale estimates almost every time.
In practice, my realistic estimate is simply the optimistic one, but multiplied by two or three, and represented as a range.
