My bounce rate dropped from 82% to 54% in one afternoon and I still don't believe it.

I was just messing around with some image compression plugins and tweaked my hero section load time. That 3-second faster load according to Google really changed things. Has anyone else seen a big jump from something small like that?

That 80/20 rule hits hard every time I fix one small thing and everything shifts.

Man @angela728 my buddy tried fixing his porch light last week and ended up rewiring his whole garage somehow.

I was just reading about how the 80/20 rule originally came from an Italian economist named Pareto who noticed 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the people. It's funny how that same pattern shows up in code, where fixing one little bug can mess up half the stuff you thought was working fine. There was this article I saw that said in software, it's often more like 95/5 with the worst bugs. Makes you wonder if we're all just moving piles of dirt around.
