people really misunderstand the "80-20 rule" a lot, i'm realizing. it's got nothing to do with "doing 80% of the work" or "covering 80% of the use cases". the 80-20 rule (pareto principle) is that 80% of the effects can be attributed to 20% of the causes. so if you are looking for an "80% solution", this then means you are only solving 20% of the problem space.

the remaining 80% unsolved stuff might be just "edge cases" that only matter 20% of the time, but those cases can be the most insidious

@trwnh 20% of the MVP gets people 80% happy, and that's way better than doing 80% of the work and only getting people 20% happy

@risottobias as long as we don't stop at 80% outcomes, then sure
