This one drives me nuts. We aren't running this web app on a pentium 2. Code complexity is vastly more important than the complexity of running this algo when the N is 12.
- favaq 4y agoBecause it starts with "it doesn't matter because N is 12" and it ends up with websites such as reddit which are extremely slow and go offline every single day. You may not be running your site on a pentium 2 but shitty performance adds up quickly and computing power is not infinite.
- pdimitar 4y agoIt's not an either/or, in my career at least it was very often the case that I could produce code that's both easy to extend and is very performant. At one point experience and intelligence converge and things get better.
