Who the fuck programs these things? Why even have this measurement if the units are not a fixed length? Just put a light on it that says “done” or “not done”
It’s an estimation, which I prefer over the vagueness of a done/not done light. I recognize that it’s not specific or reliable for any precision, but having a general idea of when it will be done is useful.
its got the vague precision of a fucking sledgehammer
says 30 minutes, could be 10, could be an hour, who knows
Mine typically says 2.5 hours and is done in 1.5-2h. Anyone using estimates on a minute schedule is... gonna have a bad time
