    a major problem with "optimization" as a strategy is that an optimum is typically a function of exogenous features that may change over time often unexpectedly, and what was optimal at one point becomes massively suboptimal under a changed parameterization

        two specific cases where this presents an especially notable issue are (i) firms competitive markets environments where short to mid term survival depends on intense optimizing, and (ii) life planning where one's future preferences may not be apparent

        What comes to mind is McDonalds. They optimised so much that they have/had zero space for manoeuvre. That explains their bizarrely long wait for vegetarian/vegan burger options.
