Agree 💯. I think the premise of the video was correct. Some tasks should be time bounded. But he could have probably given a better example of how to do it.
Quality is always a priority, but speed and quality don’t have to be mutually exclusive. The video highlights techniques to code faster without necessarily compromising quality.
I realy hate when parkinson law is used to justify an overly ambitious deadline that cannot be held under any circumstance. A dealine can be useful to focus on the right things but if you break doen a tadk into small bits do you really need to set the 2h deadlines?
It also bugs me that almost everyone reduces C. N. Parkinson's work to just this pop culture interpretation. The guy had a lot more interesting (and funny ) things to say about the nature of organisltions and management, still relevant decades later.
He's not saying speed is better than quality he's saying creating a reasonable time bracket to do your goals allows you to engage with your tasks better and become more efficient. If you fail to finish in that reasonable frame then reset, evaluate and try again
Theres one little problem with that rule: Not thinking about the code you write. You focus more on quickly getting tasks done but you dont focus on the quality of it that much. Giving yourself less time may actually punish you later on.
so you made this video in 2 hours? nice! i like this concept, of course you have to keep a good quality so you have to break down a project into manageable pieces.
Okay I got a question, how long should I take to complete an eccommerce site, right now it takes me 6 weeks to completely get everything up and running using MedusaJS (a nextjs template) is it too much? Whats the target I should set for a deadline?
its 15 minutes for me if I didn't find a decent solution in 15 minutes I skip the task and go to the next one I don't know how, but skipped tasks get processed in the background and I still finish them in the end
forget about the hourly payment things this just assumes that a normal programmer could be as focus and producitve the same through out all the 2 hour blocks, which is simply not true and not realistic to implement.
Sorry I am not fan of what you are saying. In top of that I wouldn't really recomend starting a project by starting coding. At the beginning make diagrams to be sure to aligh what you are gonna code with what you need to code. Juniors have this tendency of being all day roll-backing.
I get paid hourly, why tf would I hurry? 😂
Employ me🥲
More parallel projects per time unit
Own proyect and learning, learn skills faster
finish it in an hour
submit it 7 hours later
So that your boss can fire your colleagues bc you can handle it on your own 🥲
Setting it for yourself in your head is probably fine. Just don't tell anyone else, especially management.
Double it and give it to the next programmer?
Instructions unclear i now have Parkinsons
💀
lmao
Needed to hear that closing. Thank you.
"Thank you for your time, I am bigbox" sure hits deep
Sounds like a mid-level manager motivational speech on productivity.
Less Brilliant ads
More Brilliant videos like this 🙌💫
Quality > Speed
Agree 💯. I think the premise of the video was correct. Some tasks should be time bounded. But he could have probably given a better example of how to do it.
Actually not true, making 1000 pots in a month will yield better pots then making 10 pots in a month
When quality and speed can't be achieved at the same time, it is probably a skill issue
Quality is always a priority, but speed and quality don’t have to be mutually exclusive. The video highlights techniques to code faster without necessarily compromising quality.
I agree with you but real life doesn't work like that, you need to find a balance between quality and time to keep the clients happy

then maybe this isn't a video targeted towards you. it sounds like you don't have motivational issues
He's not saying speed is better than quality he's saying creating a reasonable time bracket to do your goals allows you to engage with your tasks better and become more efficient. If you fail to finish in that reasonable frame then reset, evaluate and try again
ayt bet, just ended the video @0:03
Thanks so much. Tried it today and it just works
Thanks, BigBoss for the invaluable tips.
Why is everyone sort of against the idea? This is brilliant
Have you never had unrealistic deadlines at a job before bro
Why do you think so many games nowadays get delayed instead of releasing on schedule? Large scale programming projects can be unpredictable.
@@CyanRooperhe literally listed the 2 times this would be useful. Neither of them were “large scale projects”. It’s for broken down tasks
Theres one little problem with that rule: Not thinking about the code you write. You focus more on quickly getting tasks done but you dont focus on the quality of it that much. Giving yourself less time may actually punish you later on.
I love how this dude just doesn’t steal ppls time for money
This would be great for personal projects; never feels like there's enough time
I fking love bigboxSWE. No intro, no bullshit
just a chill guy with some solid advice
I love how short and poinent your videos are
Thanks for the Idea. I'll include it in my plan with slight adjustments to fit me better
That approach is for sure interesting, but it wont work for my unity project that takes 3 minutes to compile lol
so you made this video in 2 hours? nice!
i like this concept, of course you have to keep a good quality so you have to break down a project into manageable pieces.
An awesome advice, that I'd rarely apply at work
Howdy bigbox? Haven't seen you in a while.
So, just start working with a self given time limit and see the magic!
Just do it faster mindblowing
big box
with the big talk
came to save the lost
like a true boss
nice undergrads reference guy
Long time no see on YT. Miss brilliant monie.
Ok and how to deal with the burnout that comes with it?
Did you hear? Historians discovered that Rome actually was built in one day after all.
he said box completely yay
Even lebronto is in programming videos
Okay I got a question, how long should I take to complete an eccommerce site, right now it takes me 6 weeks to completely get everything up and running using MedusaJS (a nextjs template) is it too much? Whats the target I should set for a deadline?
i have the same question. lmk if u find out lol
As if my life weren't stressful enough 😂
Finish it in two hours , deliver it in two weeks
Thanks once again
ah hell nah man , no way you started using the "it feels illegal" title line
Burnout simulator
but it works!
He completed the bigboxs (s) this time😂
Big bawwww > Big box
great advice but don't you love opening comments and seeing how everyone is almost purposefully misunderstanding the point lmao
did you make this video in 2 hours?
2 hours = 1 Story point
Cracked dev
Everyday u can end the video right now😂 0:02
This type of title looks familiar from Hormozi xD
Thank you Big Bock
I have 2hour + 2hour rule for a day.
Brunout speedrun
i am so early i can't beleive i am !!
its 15 minutes for me
if I didn't find a decent solution in 15 minutes I skip the task and go to the next one
I don't know how, but skipped tasks get processed in the background and I still finish them in the end
why 720p?
Thanks
Isn’t this how we got Agile and sprints?
i will win bro!!!
where neovim
forget about the hourly payment things
this just assumes that a normal programmer could be as focus and producitve the same through out all the 2 hour blocks, which is simply not true and not realistic to implement.
agreed
Who's bigbox ? I know only bigbo
nice..
Sorry I am not fan of what you are saying. In top of that I wouldn't really recomend starting a project by starting coding. At the beginning make diagrams to be sure to aligh what you are gonna code with what you need to code. Juniors have this tendency of being all day roll-backing.
Hi
there is some truth, but you approach costs stress and anxiety
This trick doesn't work with learning. :'p
😊
Tf you guys be coding all the time?
First time being this early
