My biggest mistake in my life.

Boss: So when are you gonna finish this?

Me: I'll finish it today,

Me: Finishes task and submits pull request

- The Next Day-

Team Lead: Oh bro you gotta put this on a separate file, this change this too, and that, don't use that shit use this instead, oh and yeah, you can probally use this 'totally awesome typescript decorator' here for that.

Me: Refactors code intensely

Boss: You said this going to be finished yesterday

Me: FML

    Biggest mistake was your boss asking you instead of your team lead. This is how micromanagement always ends.

    Just give him the working thing and say that you want to improve it further. You're such an ambitious worker!

    "I was but my colleague recommended some refactorings that I'm doing right now"

    ...there you go, where's the problem?

    Never respond in absolutes, leave that to the tech lead.

    When you estimate to management, you’re also estimating on behalf of the entire team, so you’ll have to factor in your time and any testing, refactoring time that may be needed.

    “This should be done in a day or two”
    This line will save you’re ass one day.
