Optimism

Bringing condoms to a family funeral

Person 1: Shit, have you got a condom?
Person 2: We’re going to our Aunt’s funeral?!
Person 1: Yeah, but you know, what if?
Person 2: Fair enough bra. That’s optimism

Optimized

A product or service that has been rendered completely useless, unmanageable, or irrelevant. In software, this is usually due to over-engineering or a lack of fundamental understanding of how to interpret analytics related to the typical use case. Most common in software and online services, but can be applied to other industries.

example 1: "YouTube has nearly been optimized to perfection."
example 2: "Kathleen Kennedy has optimized Star Wars cinematic storytelling."

Optimization Trap

When trying to improve everything actually makes life worse. The endless tweaking, tracking, and hacking that leaves you more stressed than before. Productivity apps, fitness gadgets, even parenting advice—sometimes “optimizing” just optimizes the anxiety.

I bought five different apps to manage my schedule, and now I don’t have time to do anything. Classic optimization trap.
