• Premature optimization is the root of all evil!

    I’m not a DBA. In fact, it’s been a long time since I’ve been a developer, but learning the little aphorism above, internalizing it and living by it VASTLY increased my productivity when I was.

    After all, if it’s not correct, optimizing it only increases the velocity of the errors.

    Generating more bad output faster is not generally considered to be constructive. At least not in my book.
