Damn you're persistent!

In hindsight, why did take so much longer than initially expected? Poor estimation of the initial target, or a large change from the initial target?

I think to be fair, a bunch of those insertions/deletions were from checking in node_modules early in the dev cycle. But the 5k commits is accurate :)

And for schedule, it was vast underestimation of the scope of a digital CCG combined with having day jobs => bad estimation and inconsistent hours.

I suspect that managing a day job and a kid impacted the schedule quite a bit. I recall a quote from another thread, "Once you have kids you are only allowed one hobby."
