@toba @mcc A good law! Semi-counterpoint to the OP: the marginal cost of improvement tends toward infinity as a technology matures, so “oh, good enough” is in fact one of the most important thoughts in engineering.

Deciding what constitutes “enough” is both crucial and situational, so these moments — “Yes, I do actually need to have 600k files in a dir” — aren’t the evolutionary process failing; they •are• the process.

(Still agreed re the boring/sexy factor)
