If you are of a mind to change a tuneable parameter yet cannot tell me why this tuneable will have the desired effect, or why it is so-set in the first place, then I will not allow you to change it (in prod).
“Chesterton’s tuneable parameter”.

- Brian_K_White 3y agoEven in prod (sometimes) there is no other way to "tell me if it will have the desired effect". Changing something to see what happens, even in production, is not automatically wrong. It's not automatically right either. It's almost like there is no thoughtless simple rule that is always right.
