      There are many examples in software engineering. You have probably encountered many of them online and didn’t even notice.

      For example, a website that under load starts to serve cached content only. If more load is imposed it will stop serving ads and on yet more load it will render fewer articles per page, etc.

      It’s one of those things that when you’re doing it right people will think you’re not doing anything at all.
