Hofstadters Law

HofstadtersLaw: Things take longer than you think, even if you take HofstadtersLaw into account.


Therefore, everything takes a little longer than forever, or a CuplaDays.


The revised 80-20 Law reads:

The first 80 percent of a project takes 80 percent of the time. The last 20 percent of a project takes the other 80 percent of the time.

(which also occurs at http://www.sysprog.net/quotlaws.html as the 90-90 law).
