The full quote is:
"We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%."

- karmakaze 7y agoBut I do like the optimization of the quote. From now on I'll quote it as "We should forget about small efficiencies 97% of the time."
