Work = Resources * Efficiency Applicable to IT, CS, and any other form of engineering. Just putting that out there, FWIW. Sources: --------------------------------------------- "Efficiency": Merriam-Webster <https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/efficiency)>: 1: the quality or degree of being efficient ("X is X! Yawn, tell me something that means something!") 2.a: efficient operation (ehh? Ehhh!?!?!) 2.b.1: effective operation as measured by a comparison of production with cost (as in energy, time, and money): (Ahh, so: efficiency is "produced work" vs "resources required to produce that amount of work"!!!) 2.b.2: the ratio of the useful energy delivered by a dynamic system to the energy supplied to it: (Ahh, so, once again: "produced work vs resources required to produce that amount of work") 3: efficiency apartment: "a small usually furnished apartment with minimal kitchen and bath facilities" --- ummm...not relevant...? ------------------------------------------------ "Efficiency": Dictionary.com <https://www.dictionary.com/browse/efficiency> 1. the state or quality of being efficient, or able to accomplish something with the least waste of time and effort; competency in performance. "Able to accomplish something" (ie, "work") "with the least waste of time an effort" (ie, using minimum "resources") 2. accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of time and effort: The assembly line increased industry's efficiency. ("ability to accomplish a job" == "work", "expenditure of time and effort" == "resources") 3. the ratio of the work done or energy developed by a machine, engine, etc., to the energy supplied to it, usually expressed as a percentage. ("work done or energy developed by a machine, engine, etc." == "work", "the energy supplied to it" == "resources"...ie: "the ratio of ["work"] to ["resources"]" == "efficiency") 4. efficiency apartment: "a small apartment consisting typically of a combined living room and bedroom area, a bathroom, and a kitchenette." - Not relevant.
