This is the difference between efficiency (that the author is aiming for) and effectiveness (that Bob has – solving the right problem and only that problem). The two are not measured on the same axis: while Bob could have become maybe 20% more efficient with a better setup, and thus increase the delivered value by 20%, the author was already saturated on efficiency, and no amount of better tooling would have made him win the hackathon, because he was throttled at higher levels of abstraction (such as direction, ideas, vision, market insight). Similarly to how no amount of efficiency gains would make Microsoft produce quality software, because they optimize for other metrics. |
