Everything in this book applies not only to management, but also optimizing distributed systems. E.g. - optimizing parts of the system for their own metrics often leads to degradation of the whole system performance; any optimization must be done w.r.t. the context of the system as a whole - focus on optimizing the bottlenecks - approach to identifying bottleneck - minimize amount of stuff waiting in the queues I love this book. It laid out in an approachable way my observations w.r.t how humans fail to organize efficiently by just not being good at thinking in terms of a larger system.
