Good, you achieved a 10% speedup for a particular workload that some users said they care about. But how do you find out that was really the feature that should have been built next? How do you prevent adding badly factored code? How to make sure you don't pile on top of existing tech debt in the codebase, that you are solving the most fundamental issues first?
