That was mostly high quality except for the wannabe "you might be a redneck" (shouldn't be a programmer) section at the end. > (Functional) Manually caching the results of a deterministic function on ... Haskell You still have to explicitly memoize at times in Haskell. > refactor his old code with the goal of reducing its instruction count by 10:1 or more What a loser! I go into my old code with a goal of 10000:1. > Recursive subroutines that concatenate/sum to a carry-along output variable This can be justified. > Using strings/integers for values that have (or could be given) more appropriate wrapper types in a strongly-typed language Not always worth it. > Unit Testing, which you use at design time. No, I don't. > You don't use whitespace or indentation If I'm not using whitespace, what am I supposed to indent with?
