s like another little example of “data-driven optimization” actually just optimizing for the metrics instead of the actual goal.

I spent some time designing metrics for companies and this is the case with 99% of the metrics I came across. It often led to a vicious cycle of “see the metric isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do -> change metric -> organization changes to fit the metric instead of its goal -> metric doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do”

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it’s a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we’ll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.
