It's like translating grandma's units of measurements from her old recipes.

"A smidge of this, three sprinkles of that, and a can full of something that does not come in a can" (The can was her 'measuring can' that was some kind of weird size that doesn't exist anymore)

Edit: After she passed, we threw the can away because we didn't realize it was the can and load-bearing to most of her recipes. After some best guesses + trial and error, we concluded the can was approximately 7 ounces / just under a cup.

Best part of cooking compared to baking, in my opinion, is this.

You need 2 cups of whatever? Well, an extra eighth cup by accident isn't going to kill it, probably.

Your pastry or whatever your baking calls for exactly 2 pecans? Better not forget them or whatever you're baking will go thermonuclear!

Well, that's how I usually do my estimations on software projects.

If I'd go through the work to make an exact estimation, most of the work would already be done - and then I still wouldn't be 100% sure, that the approach works, until it's tested

So, I kinda eyeball what I'll need to analyse the problem, create a concept, implement and test it - and leave some spare room for getting back to step 1.

This is me with cooking. My chef will regularly ask me how much of each ingredient I used in a particular dish I created and every time I'm just like "dude I just kept throwing shit in until it tasted right"

Don't get me wrong if you give me a recipe I'll follow it to the letter, but if I'm making something on the fly there's not a single thought about measurements.
