This is a thought provoking, bite sized little piece that boils down to, "don't give feedback on EVERYTHING, because not everything matters! give feedback on things that have impact."
I think it's a *great* exercise for the feedback-giver to think through the impact they want their advice to have.

How much of your feedback is actually about performance vs. personal preference?
If you can't point to specific impact, maybe the behavior that needs changing is yours.

Why Most Feedback Shouldn’t Exist
Before giving feedback, ask yourself: is there measurable impact? Most manager feedback is just personal preference disguised as professional development. Stop policing personality.
