Lesson 2: The Futility of Optimizing for the 99th Percentile

Today, we're going to explore the absurdity of optimizing for the 99th percentile.

• Why bother, when 99% is already GOOD ENOUGH?
• Is it not just a waste of time, resources, and sanity?
• Will we not be the laughing stock of the other 1% who actually need it?
• Is the pursuit of perfection just a myth perpetuated by the Overengineering Illuminati?

			// In the words of the great philosopher, "If 90% is good, then 99% is even better."
			// But seriously, who needs 99%?
			// function overengineer() {
				// console.log("I'm overengineering, hear me roar!");
			// }
		

And so, our exercise for today is to write a function that optimizes the overengineering of this very exercise itself.

Or perhaps, we can just take a nap, and let the overengineering elves handle it?
