From the blog post here: https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-bpftune

"A lot of lore accumulates around these tunables, and to help clarify why we developed bpftune, we will use a straw-man version of the approach taken with tunables:

“find the set of magic numbers that will work for the system forever”

This is obviously a caricature of how administrators approach the problem, but it does highlight a critical implicit assumption - that systems are static."
