Again, you’re insisting that rate is only ever a matter of quantity per unit time, when most user facing work is measured in time to complete a single task, or batch. There are more users than developers by a vast margin, otherwise we could not sustain our high salaries.

Additionally, in cloud computing we do not give a shit about tasks per second, but cost per day, which is how many CPUs we need for a set of tasks, which from Little’s Law is derived from seconds per task, not tasks per second.

And yet I’m the one who is wrong, apparently.
