This reminds me that one of the things I loved about working on server-side efficiency is that for any given diff, you can measure the performance improvement, multiply by hardware costs, and say, "That diff saved $X." Makes it really easy to measure impact and feel that my salary is justified.
- scalesolved 10y agoThat is one side to the coin, however if you made a change that was a performance improvement yet the code was highly cryptic and hard for anyone else to understand then this wouldn't be a good thing. Essentially what I'm getting at is that peer review from team members is the best metric for what is good and isn't.
- bertr4nd 10y agoAbsolutely true. Still, it helps when one side of the coin is precisely quantifiable, since it helps frame the more subjective questions like code complexity.
