Heh, I get to totally dunk on this guy by calling him a vibe coder for not using lazy evaled string interpolation.
Wait a second.. If I do ANY ACTUAL engineering and log out the time savings, it's completely negligible and just makes the code harder to read?
It is complete insanity to me that literally every piece of programming literature over the past sixty years has been drilling the concept about code readability over unncessary optimizations and yet still I constantly read completely backwards takes like this.
- hiAndrewQuinn 1y agoHaving strong opinions on technical errata makes you sound smart and like you know what you're doing to the people who might want to hire you. Saying "I didn't bother to optimize this because it doesn't affect our bottom line" can be so easily reinterpreted as "I'm incompetent and never even thought about this angle in the first place". The OP has chosen an effective middle ground to communicate that they're serious about their work.
