So the VP of my company just told me that he doesn't care about statistical significance in A/B tests but he wants me to rush tests as soon as they show an increase in conversion rate or revenue. Because fuck math and logic. #Capitalism #Business #FuckLogic

@syndikalista I'm growing more and more aware of this fact with each passing day. Of course I will not follow his request and wait until my tests reach at least a confidence level of 95 without telling him. I won't comprimise the quality of my work because of a jerk
