What’s a task that’s too big? Any task that requires “fortune telling.” Just as the car headlights have limited throw, we can only see into the future perhaps one or two steps, maybe a few hours or days at most.

You might find yourself slipping into fortune telling when you have to: Estimate completion dates months in the future Plan a design for future maintenance or extendability Guess user’s future needs Guess future tech availability
