Bill Kaiser of NewRelic published this blog in 2017 which goes some way towards what I’m talking about, but since then I have figured out a new way to interpret the data. This applies to other areas like software project time estimates as well, there’s a tendency to focus on the best case but it always takes longer.

We have spoken with data scientists and software engineers at several firms that use PlanOut, and they have stated that the mapping from experiments to samples was what drew them to the PlanOut framework. The mapping avoids clashes between concurrently running experiments, which is one of the primary challenges of online experimentation.

Agile is not, and never was, about getting developers to write software faster. If you were involved with professional programming in the 80s and 90s, you may remember how radical it was (and, in many shops, still is) to put software developers in touch with users and customers. This is important. Neckbeards? Geeks and nerds?

Ah, and don’t use JPEG-XR on the web — "the processing of decoding JPEG-XRs software-side on the CPU nullifies and even outweighs the potentially positive impact of byte size savings, especially in the context of SPAs". An interesting way of avoiding parsing costs is to use binary templates that Ember has introduced in 2017.
