I agree with your comment about senior devs. it seems as devs climb the ladder many get a superiority complex where they could do things quickly and others cannot.
I was once a tech lead of a team where the architect had been berating and criticizing a team member for weeks over something he thought should take a day.
I suggested he should take over and complete it. It took him weeks to complete.

- funkymike 7y agoI'm sure I still have far to go, but currently when I see someone quote a time frame for a change I am more concerned when it is short vs. seems too long. Especially when the dev is questioned and the estimate doesn't include time for documentation, deployment, etc.
