  • This is a really important concept for developers.One aspect for developers that I see quite often is the assertion that "We can't have X without giving up more Y", most commonly "we can't have more security without giving up on user experience". With the Pareto idea in mind, we can see that that statement is true, if and only if you are in fact…

  • I did similar analysis a couple years ago for optimizing item builds in WoW classic. The tricky part in WoW is that there are 15ish item slots with hundreds of item choices for each slot, so the total number of builds is well over 100^15.I ended up using a divide-and-conquer style approach, where I 1) pruned items that weren't on the Pareto…

  • There are a few things that are assumed to be true when talking about the Pareto frontier here, but aren’t always true.One, that more of something is always better, e.g. it is always better to have more speed.Maybe, but what if having too much speed causes you to run off the track and perform worse? It could be that there is actually a peak in the…

  • Once I was told to upgrade tls to 1.2 (latest version at the time) due to some compliance thing or other. So I did. Then I noticed something. The user never provided any certificates themselves. I asked why. "Because it would be bad ux". I went looking and lo and behold, there it was, the first line in Main(): ServicePointManager…

  • I love when people do an amazing job carefully explaining something complicated in a way that makes it seem very intuitive. Excellent job. Way to show off those technical communication chops!

  • Of course I, and most of the dads I know, optimise for something else: what’s the car that will keep me competitive, but probably losing, to the kids?
