Also known as the difference between doing things right (beautiful code) vs doing the right thing (working software). I like ideas from the systems thinkers like Russell Ackoff about this. > Ackoff expands by suggesting that doing things right is about efficiency but doing the right thing is about effectiveness. He makes a strong case for the connection between wisdom and doing/identifying the right things. He notes further that when we try to do things right about the wrong thing, we actually make things worse. Such attempts at improvement actually take us further from both the recognition and accomplishment of the “right thing”. https://ackoffcenter.blogs.com/ackoff_center_weblog/2018/04/there-is-a-difference-between-doing-things-right-and-doing-the-right-thing.html https://ackoffcenter.blogs.com/ackoff_center_weblog/2018/04/...
