If your mechanic gave you a 1 month estimate to fix your flat tire, they'd deliver on time every time

The precise estimaters are doing more than fixing a tire and they are doing it in less than a month. Empirically, these people are often more than average productive.

It helps that I also know how to program. So I know that the task in question is hard and I know that the patch they submitted is the real deal.
