The whole series is pretty great. One of the interesting points he makes is that non-pessimization (2) is a necessary precondition to optimization (1). That any attempt to do hardcore optimization of a pessimized codebase is futile and will continuously faceplant into endless expanses of stupid code filled with unnecessary work for the cpu that instantly becomes the bottleneck.
