It's all blocked because Galactus still doesn't support ISO timestamps.

Common mistake. It's Omega Star that doesn't support ISO timestamps even though they said they would, and Galactus (which supports ISO timestamps) is getting deprecated by the end of the month.

It is Omega Star that doesn't support ISO timestamps, correct, but it is EKS (Entropy [K]haos Service?) that getting deprecated at the end of the month. Without that you can't provide a time stamp for the end of the universe to Galactus.

Having said that, I am probably wrong too.

At that point you give them the checkbox. “Here it is, you’re right it was sooo easy, oh you wanted it to do something… yea that’s why it takes longer”

That's a failure on the developer's communication. If everyday you find a new challenge, then everyday you must communicate that new challenge.

Code changes/features is not one to one. It's a bunch of changes to provide one feature. And remember we can at best estimate the time it will take us. Estimates are often wrong because of things we didn't know that we didn't know.
