Perfectly Balanced Six-Month Effort

0.1% accuracy improvement 6 months effort Perfectly balanced... ... As all things should be.

A close-up of Thanos holding an ornate, jewel-encrusted object is captioned as six months of effort for a tiny 0.1% accuracy improvement. Thanos then says, “Perfectly balanced... As all things should be,” turning the disproportionate effort into a joke about obsessive optimization and diminishing returns. People send it as a reaction to painstaking work that produces an almost negligible improvement.
