Can someone clarify this?
> * Developers believe performance is speed. It isn’t. Performance is a difference in measure between two (or more) competing qualities, the performance gap measured in either duration or frequency.
Maybe I'm a dummy, but if someone says "make a fast webapp", I'll be doing things like reducing requests, optimizing queries, making things smaller, using the right data structures, manipulating data in a fast and/or memory efficient way.
This should result in lower loads, more stability, better availability, etc, so also "more performance". I do think of it as lots of focus on speed since, for the most part, I'm measuring how long it takes for a function/query/etc to run.
Happy to check out some articles/keyword suggestions.
- throwaway0asd 4y agoThe question that matters is: How much faster is it? If you cannot answer that why should anybody believe your new website is fast?
- tbran 4y agoOkay, so we should all measure stuff.
