Never once in twenty year I needed to do a ballpark estimate as an engineer. All my estimates were sourced or derived from known reference datapoints.
According to recruiter and many answer here it appears people are spending days at job throwing numbers to the wall.
Can anyone explain what these numbers with massive uncertainty are used for and why go tough all that effort if you still have to go back to sources and references to fix up the estimate anyway?
