Should take 5 minutes.&rdquo;</em></p> <p>Ever heard this one? Or maybe its variants: <em>&ldquo;Just change one line of code, right?&rdquo;</em>, <em>&ldquo;How can it take a whole day to fix this?&rdquo;</em></p> <p>If you&rsquo;re a developer, you almost certainly have. And that line usually comes from a boss, project manager, or client, someone who doesn&rsquo;t need to know what an N+1 query is, but needs to understand <strong>why something that looks simple takes a non-simple amount of time</strong>.</p>
