Most software engineers focus on efficiency rather than effectiveness.

What matters more: solving a $1M problem with 90% efficiency, or solving a $1K problem with 99.999% efficiency?

Efficiency matters, but there are infinite wants and scarce people to solve them.

Differentiate yourself by knowing when to stop optimizing and help your org deploy time more effectively.
