This principle applies as much to the work we schedule for ourselves (or our teams) as it does to our servers. As teams get pushed to efficiently utilize scarce and expensive developer resources to their max they can also end up with huge latency issues for unanticipated requests. Not always easy to justify why planned work is way under a team's capacity though even if it leads to better overall outcomes at the end of the day. |
