The Secrets of Consulting", Gerald Weinberg advise against improving more than 10% of performance, and if so, of hoping to have any credit. Just like the article, his reasoning is that if you improve performance too much, it makes management/the team look bad for not doing it before, while a smaller improvement in performance make management looks good.


Why did you copy-paste someone else's comment?


This was a fat-finger mistake. I copied the comment for my notes and somehow fired off a cmd-v while in the comment window. My apologies. This was not the intent.


But then you submitted it anyway?


Yep. Not sure how it happened. I copied the note to my personal notes. I also wrote a comment. I think somewhere between the "submit" click I cmd-v'ed. Woke up surprised today to see this.

I can't remove it either.

I'm open for more questions.


I think you are good - you just had to pass a HN interrogation first. It really delivered though.

> I'm open for more questions

I laughed much harder than I should of at this.
