We should abolish use of the phrase "Best Practice"

Best implies no room for improvement. There is always a better practice. Much better I believe.

Citing "Best Practice" is often a shortcut used to avoid debate about how we can do better. Instead of searching for best practices I prefer to search for better practices. What's "Good Practice" today can improved upon by a "Better Practice" tomorrow.

I have a personal motto that I would like to share:

"Everything you are doing now can be done 10 times better!"

This doesn't mean you suck, and even if you do, all the more reason to look hard for ways to get better. I firmly believe that there is an order of magnitude improvement possible in everything we do. Knowing there is not just a small incremental improvement, but a true order of magnitude game-changer out there, drives me to search hard for those opportunities.

And once I've made an improvement, there's still another 10x improvement out there. How is that possible? Because the landscape is always changing. What was an improvement before may be a hindrance now. If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.
