Four Kinds of Optimisation

  I feel like he jumped into “hard” optimisation too fast.

  I would say when you find code running slow, first you do:

  • only do nessesarry work if we only need to look up a persons name we do not need to load all and everything and their image for that person from a DB, File or alike (fewer calls)

  • dont do the same work twice if you already calculated something you might not need to calculate it twice (example: caching)

  then if perfromance is still an isdue, do what he suggests in the article :)

  1. too early optimization
  2. optimization once performance bottlenecks are found
  3. TBD
  4. TBD

  All jokes aside, I like the way this article breaks down types of optimizations. Especially the forth, as that tends to be the answer on occasion.
