My brain goblin is a big fan of performance. Recently I reviewed a teammate’s code. It was a small 100ish line PR and he calls the same function twice in a row with a tiny variation. My brain goblin went “you could consolidate these into one call”, “since it’s only one call you could inline it”.
A couple hours later when he came to ask me what I’m smoking I realised my proposed solution had more LoC and was more complex to read. If we needed better performance, step 1 should’ve been to offload this task to an API that wasn’t made with python.

Yesssssss. I just got done splitting up a 3000-line mess of React code into a handful of simple, reusable components. Better than sex.

I’m a total noob but I learned how and refactored my python project I’m doing at work. It takes time but it is very rewarding to have clean code lol
