> Famously, the last 10% takes 90% of the time (or 20/80 in some approximations). So even if it gets you 80% of the way in 10% of the time, maybe you don’t end up saving any time, because all the time is in the last 20%.
This does not follow. By your own assumptions, getting you 80% of the way there in 10% of the time would save you 18% of the overall time, if the first 80% typically takes 20% of the time. 18% time reduction in a given task is still an incredibly massive optimization that's easily worth $200/month for a professional.
