      Wouldnt productivity have two knobs? Efficiency and energy/effort input?

      Also efficiency sometimes goes against “right”? If you need resiliancy you then “right” migh include redundancy. In software, that could also be guardrails like memory safety that necissarily take some extra abstraction to implement and a processing penalty?
