Step 1 - make a website that takes 3 seconds to load a blank page.
Step 2 - bring it down to 1 second and pat yourself on the back.

  In Brazil they say you can make things better by first putting a goat in the living room. It's going to shit everywhere, chew, droll, and make a horrible mess.
  Take the goat out and your life will improve right away!

    A life without a goat sounds horrible

    60+ yo Brazilian here and I have never, in my entire life, heard this saying before. Sounds something a Brazuca would come up with after the 17th round of Kaiser though. Pretty on brand.

    Also described as a traditional Yiddish folktale (a rabbi suggests responding to stress by moving a series of animals into the home, and then at the end they're removed and everything seems great by comparison!).
