Quotes

Preface xix- In my experience, diagnosis is where people usually mess up. There are lots of experts out there responding sensibly to poorly collected diagnostic data in poorly specified projects. It is usually easy to solve a problem when it is presented to you correctly. It can be impossible to solve the right problems when you’re focused on the wrong problem

Page 3- The severity of a problem is proportional to the number of people who show up in meetings to talk about it.

Page 11- Amdahl’s law

“the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used”.
