### Hutber's Law
[Hutber's Law on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutber%27s_law)
> Improvement means deterioration.
This law suggests that improvements to a system will lead to deterioration in other parts, or it will hide other deterioration, leading overall to a degredation from the current state of the system. For example, a decrease in response latency for a particular end-point could cause increased throughput and capacity issues further along in a request flow, effecting an entirely different sub-system.
