Maybe it's just me and I'm just slow but does anyone else feel the estimated times are very low for the actual amount of time they take?  For instance I just completed one for Apex Testing and it claims it would take approximately 15 minutes.  It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes.   To actually read and comprehend this, plus many actual classes to create and read though...15 minutes seems very ambitious.  

While I have no problem putting in more time, it's a bit diheartening to see the entire badge is estimated at 45 minutes and the first module takes me twice that time.  It makes it a bit difficult to get an idea when a Trail estimates 17+ hours what that really means.  Again, maybe it's just me but wanted other opinions.  

Anyway, just a discussion and not an issue.  Thanks!

So I'm learning apex via http://www.sfdc99.com/ 

Now he simple states, get a free dev org, i did that and then go through steps xyz to connect mavensmate...problem is mavensmate is no longer supported. 

So i installed all the packages need for visual studio code, but for the love of all things holy i cannot figure out how to connect it. Also whenever i log into my free dev org i'm not sure if im in sandbox or in the dev org, there's literally nothing different (other than one has less content).

I also have a corporate account, obviously i cant use the firms enterprise edition...
