Gibbons' Law

Gibbons' Law states that in systems with limited resources, increasing demands or activities can lead to diminishing returns or even counterproductive effects. Essentially, when you push a system (like a workforce or infrastructure) too hard, the benefits from additional effort decrease or cause overload. This concept highlights the importance of balancing demand and capacity, recognizing that more isn’t always better, and that optimal performance occurs when resource use is managed wisely to avoid overextension.
