I’ve spent the last 20 years not caring about performance. Not once has performance ever been a real issue on any project I’ve been on. Imagine how much time I could have wasted prematurely optimising.
- speedplane 9y agoYou've never written any code to run in parallel? Or used a data structure or algorithm with O(logN) time instead of O(N) time?
- majikandy 9y agoI probably have, without particularly prioritising it. Ok, perhaps I should have said "overly caring about performance". Of course I have used built in functions in languages that take advantage of this when searching or sorting - but no, I can't remember a time when I had to get into the nitty gritty of low level performance enhancement, unless it was in a coding challenge of course.
