I wonder the extent to which it builds on or learns from Joel’s Monte Carlo project estimates?

Or perhaps it’s a completely different thing, made by different people, who had no knowledge of all that?

Perhaps Joel is just the accidental sponsor like he was with Trello?

A bunch of interns working for him invent something cool and present it to him and then let him take over the world? (Not that I think that a bad thing!)
