Great vs optimized
Optimization is a trap.
Productivity is a trap.
Efficiency is a trap.
These things tell creative minds to cut some corners, don’t sweat the details, and remove the superfluous.
But the world doesn’t need more homogenized, generic, just-good-enough mediocrity.
It needs some people to care enough to do so much better than that.
If you’re one of them, don’t worry so much about optimizing, productivity, or efficiency.
Consider redirecting some of that energy toward making great work.
