Probably the same reason we write things like

SECONDS_IN_DAY = 60 * 60 * 24

Alright, then. Let's assume that 1.1 is a safety factor. From whence 60?


3 sales representatives, each sending 20 cold emails per day. Yeah, it should be 3 * 20.


So if he adds more salesmen, he needs less domains? ))


I do that because I can't remember that there are 86400 seconds in day so work it out from first principles each time.

I also sing the alphabet song (in my head) when I want to know which is the 19th letter of the alphabet.
