As a reluctant project manager I have an insight: Maybe the real problem isn't that you're slow, maybe the real problem is that you're bad at estimating?

By the way your time may not scale: Humans can't really do multi-tasking, so the more tasks you ass the slower you do them all. So if you worked on just one project it would go fast.

Also you shouldn't think of code as writing the physical code: Most coders I know are spending their time thinking, coming up with structures and problem solving.




Agreed. We often forget that building a program is creating something out of nothing. Stuff takes time.


Not only that, but even if you are building something with off the shelf parts even that takes more time than you can imagine!
