People say that you should not micro-optimize; but, if what you love is micro-optimization, that's what you should do. - Linus Torvalds

And no, I am not looking for yes-men, and I like it when you call me out on my bullshit. I say some stupid things at times, there needs to be people who just stand up to me and tell me I'm full of shit.

[In response to ] Good job. More public indecency, less TSA, that's what I say.

Sometimes "<code>pi = 3.14</code>" is (a) infinitely faster than the "correct" answer and (b) the difference between the "correct" and the "wrong" answer is meaningless. And this is why I get upset when somebody dismisses performance issues based on "correctness". The thing is, some specious value of "correctness" is often irrelevant because it doesn't matter. While performance almost always matters. And I absolutely detest the fact that people so often dismiss performance concerns so readily.
