There's a good Bjarne Stroustrup quote (mentioned in Clean Code) that is more useful here (as well as a bunch more on optimization / efficiency that are worth reading): "I like my code to be elegant and efficient. The logic should be straightforward to make it hard for bugs to hide, the dependencies minimal to ease maintenance, error handling complete according to an articulated strategy, and performance close to optimal so as not to tempt people to make the code messy with unprincipled optimizations. Clean code does one thing well" [1] [1]: https://www.stroustrup.com/quotes.html https://www.stroustrup.com/quotes.html
