Devs are famously bad at estimating how long a software project will take.
No, highly complex creative work is inherently extremely difficult to estimate.
Anyway, not shocked at all by the results. This is a great start that begs for larger and more rigorous studies.

You're absolutely correct that the angle approach that statement is bullshit. There is also that they want to think making software is not highly complex creative work but somehow is just working an assembly line and the software devs are gatekeepers that don't deserve respect.

Akshually... I'm on a dev team where about 60% of us are diagnosed with ADHD. So, at least in our case, it's both.

If we didn't have ADHD, we wouldn't be able to do the work regardless.

We’re the only ones that can get hyper focused and also hyper fixated on why a switch statement is failing when it includes a for loop until finding out there’s actually a compiler bug, and if you leave a space after the bracket it somehow works correctly.
That was a fun afternoon.

Gross, which compiler was that?
I managed to make an assembler segfault with seven bytes
