Growing up as an engineer or business owner means understanding that sometimes you should throw money at a problem. Consider memory leaks. Should you spend three days finding the problem or upgrade your servers to have more memory?

Before, I would jump into trying to understand the problem and not stop until I resolved it. Now, I take a step back and consider costs. How much does three days of work cost compared to upgrading the server?

Also, never forget the opportunity cost. If you're doing this, you're not doing something else. So the next time you decide, don't forget to compare costs. Like everything is not always that simple, but most of the time, it actually is.
