Which is entirely inconsistent with the statement "Performance is never a justification for anything if you haven’t measured it".

- scarejunba 8y agoDude. This is just how people talk. It's called hyperbole and it's a rhetorical technique. Like "never talk to the cops without a lawyer". Really? Never? "Hi, nice to see you guys here. This is my husband. He's a policeman" "I would like to talk to my lawyer" Because we know the world isn't black and white we're able to interpret these statements. It's human speech. Lots of the details are left out because conciseness is gold.
- abraae 8y agoYeah, I get that, I really do. But what you mean is that you are able to interpret these statements. Plenty of others, maybe less experienced, are not. Next thing you know, they are spreading the word - "hey, did you know there's a new development methodology? The idea is that you completely ignore performance until after you've written some code. Yeah, you heard me - completely ignore!. It sounds crazy, but that's how it works!"
