Love this article, hope it becomes a foundational piece in some tech org cultures, that reward engineers to focus on "better than linear improvements", vs. pedantic debates I've seen teams that strive for improvement grow so used to for the cheap feeling of improvement they provide.

nit: (so I don't lose the habit) that flashing gif in the middle causes a more than linear nuisance while I'm trying to read the article, otherwise LGTM!

There's some project management guru who wrote a book on managing projects that helped keep people micromanaging them.

Years later I read that he really regretted it because he realized that project shouldn't be even started unless they're too important to be micromanaged...

It is, don't start linear return projects...
