It's reasonable to imagine that installing 1000 windows in a building could take weeks or months. If you're writing software and follow DRY, it might take a few hours to work out how to perform some repeatable task, but then only a brief moment to actually do it 1000 times. The act of making software is all about decisions, there are almost by definition very few repeatable tasks. If you do find yourself repeating things over again, you're not taking full advantage of DRY or automation. This is why I think a lot of software is so unpredictable in terms of time. How do you predict that which you don't already know how to do? |
