It’s all a judgment call

If you're just going by the data, then you're confirming, not deciding.

Building software, we have this fascination with making “objective, data-driven” decisions. But it’s an illusion. Data may filter out some subjectivity, but what’s left is always subjective. It’s best we admit this to ourselves and move on.

I’d rather a human with good taste than a computer with a good algorithm.
