I think the sentiment is that order and organisation is helpful in achieving goals and cultivating a good working environment as opposed to a big mess. Analogies, just like abstractions, are leaky.


Yeah, but this one leaks a smart-matter paint that self-assembles into a shape of text saying "the order and organization is not the goal, but a consequence of ruthlessly optimizing for performance above all".


I didn't try to say that, but maybe I confused my point with the analogy (like an earlier comment mentioned: they're imperfect).

I meant to say that organisation helps make work easier, including adding performance optimisations.
