TLDR: when facing problems like these, it’s too easy to look at grandiose solutions and, because they look like cool engineering problems, we end up justifying that it’s worth and reasonable to take on such year-long projects. But most often, the boring incremental solutions are easier and cheaper to achieve, while delivering benefit along the way.
This article shows examples of both, and I’m happy to see that the “boring” solution won.
