thinking-theory-of-constraints
From the author
When throughput or latency is pipeline-limited, identify the single binding constraint and exploit, subordinate, elevate, then recheck—ignore non-constraints.

- data-engineeringcbrock84/headcountBuilds and operates data pipelines — ingestion, transformation, orchestration, quality testing, and reliability of data delivery. Use this to design or debug a pipeline, decide batch versus streaming, add data quality checks, handle late or duplicate data, or work out why a dashboard's numbers changed without anyone changing the dashboard.Data★ 2.1K
- gate-checkundefined-ui/second-brain-osFind the decisions in a pipeline that do not need the expensive model and propose the gate for each: a rule, a classic classifier, or a small model, with fail-closed routing. Use when the user asks to cut model costs or latency, says the big model handles everything, or wants a triage / routing / filter layer in front of an agent. Analysis plus an optional baseline scaffold. Do NOT use for auditing context layout (context-audit) or for building eval suites (evals-bootstrap).Productivity★ 1.1K
