Why do software installation or updates always go very fast up to 90% complete, then the last 5-10% takes so much longer?
In: Technology
Because software developers don’t think like normal people. To you, me and most end users the 100% progress bar means how much time do I need to waste before I can get on with my life.
To the programmer it’s a task list where each task may take 30 or 300 seconds. Nobody knows. It can take 5 minutes to get to 97% but the remaining 3% will take 15.
