I would say the same. You need to be a local to know your way around. Until you become one, you are going to miscalculate your arrival time. This is why good developers are exponentially better than bad developers.

your comments show the power&depth of this analogy. the challenge for an effective local driver is to avoid routine and remain cautious and flexible to react to the changes in his leaned-by-heart territory: new rules, roadsigns, changes in traffic organization, self-driving cars etc.
