Ambitious standards

Imagine these standards being your standards:

  1. Your performance problem troubleshooting method has no blind spots.
  2. You can predict the performance impact of an idea before implementing it, and measure the impact afterward.
  3. You can find performance risks early in development.
  4. Your tests measure what users will actually experience.
  5. Your systems are designed so that decisive evidence is available whenever you need it.

When your projects meet these standards, quality of life improves substantially for developers, operators, and users alike.

“I can’t believe I was in my forties the first time I saw how to optimize a system the way Cary and his team do it. Now it doesn’t even make sense to me that anyone would try it any other way.”
