It's actually telling that the development equivalent of homeopathy is so obviously nonsense that no one would actually do it.
- jtheory 13y agoIt's worse than that, because you're forgetting the principal of "like cures like" (you "treat" the person with water that's remembering the poison that would cause similar symptoms to their disease). But you have a good start. Here's real homeopathic coding, then: My code was performing poorly. So I created a new module that would run several time-wasting loops... then I gradually removed all of the code from my new module (so it does nothing). Then I linked it with my existing codebase - now my code should perform much better!
