T - 4 hours
Okay, so that one ticket has clocked-up twice the estimated time and the algorithm still doesn't work. I can finish that before the review and justify the extra time as preparation for the remaining tickets, which rely on this one.
T - 3 hours
Notification in slack with feedback on the last merge request.
T - 2 hours
Getting there, just need -- oh look, a slack message.
T - 10 minutes
Now that all (most) of the feedback has been implemented, it's time to prepare.
T + about a minute
"-so what I'm saying is there's not as much as I estimated, but, like, it works, right."
"And what's happening here?"
"That's on my radar."
"And this?"
"It's meant to do that."
Later
Well that went well (no really!); I've been re-focused, and have come out with a lot of relevant feedback. Next time, I'll factor planning time into estimates, and focus on what's necessary over what's possible with just a bit more time. I've also picked up a few gems like 'Ruby is not Javascript', which is very valid.
Overall, good job. Let's make it better.
