my co-worker one said "programmers are like gas, we expand to fit our container." Referring to the fact that if given 3 weeks to do a 1 week project it will take 3 weeks, maybe even run late because of extra features we decided to include. Or we design technology now for the project specifically, etc. Given a 1 week timeline though we still have no problem making it.
