The techempower repo is literally a gift to the world. I've seen and learned many ways of optimizing code ...almost none of which should ever be used in production or would ever make it past a PR at most companies. Still, it's amazing in the amount of non-realistic approaches used. It really is a work of art.
- DoesntMatter22 2y agoI hate when people downplay TechEmpower. They are the best benchmarks going, and awesome because anyone can contribute and as you said there is a lot of learning that can be done there.
- josevalim 2y agoYou are right. There are many positive things about TechEmpower and keeping it open to all and running takes an incredible amount of effort, which is definitely appreciated and I failed to recognize. That was unfair of me. Although I still strongly disagree with the initial observation that they are "real world". Most applications in the real world receive heterogeneous traffic, from a varying and unknown number of clients, with logging, potential contention on resources, and other aspects that are not taken into consideration.
