Thing is, some of these <i>are</i> genuinely useful and smart things, in very specific contexts :P<p>To paraphrase a recent experience of my own, a manager calling a meeting with the dev team "we need to re-arrange the javascript in our headers" "step back a bit, what problem are we trying to solve?" "pages need to load faster, rearranging headers makes pages load faster" "step back a bit, why do they need to load faster? Why is javascript the problem?" "Clients have complained about graphs not loading" <i>checks the server logs, sees internal server errors causing pages to crash (those which don't crash on the server side are loading instantly), goes to fix the actual problem</i>
