In fast moving markets, adaptation is significantly more important than optimization.
We must develop knowledge optimization initiatives to leverage our key learnings.
Optimization hinders evolution.
Constrained optimization is the art of compromise between conflicting objectives. This is what design is all about. To find fault with biological design - as Stephen Jay Gould regularly does - because it misses some idealized optimum is therefore gratuitous. Not knowing the objectives of the designer, Gould is in no position to say whether the designer has proposed a faulty compromise among those objectives.
Search engine marketing and search engine optimization are critically important to online businesses. You can spend every penny you have on a website, but it will all be for nothing if nobody knows your site is there.
Caches aren't architecture, they're just optimization.
Premature optimization is the root of all evil in programming.
Sub-optimization is when everyone is for himself. Optimization is when everyone is working to help the company.
Optimization hinders evolution. Everything should be built top-down, except the first time. Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.
Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
