   This is topical for me right now, and apologies in advance that I'm going to link back again to my blog at the end of this comment... I've been thinking recently about how important it is to dominate your tools. Use git regularly? Then learn the shit out of it. Learn how it works in side and out. Over the last few days I've been committing the entirety of http://book.git-scm.com/ to memory, and many little inefficie…

    The most popular article on my blog is called "How To Estimate Like an Adult": http://www.writemoretests.com/2012/02/how-to-estimate-like-a... Estimation is a skill, like any other part of learning to be a good software engineer. People shouldn't be making excuses for their poor estimation skills after ten years of experience...

    Those are fair points all, and I feel cover similar ground to an article of mine: http://www.writemoretests.com/2011/09/test-driven-developmen...

But the cost is still there, and will become apparent, and needs dealing with.
