🚀🤹‍♂️ "Performance Hints" where tech wizards Jeff and Sanjay try to unravel the mysteries of making code faster, because the magic of Google can't handle a few extra milliseconds 🕒. With tips only slightly more useful than a chocolate teapot 🍫☕, they add another chapter to their endless manual of "how to make the obvious complicated."

4 billion if statements

I recently stumbled upon this screenshot while researching social media on the train. Of course, it was followed by a cascade of spiteful comments, criticizing this fresh programmer’s attempt to solve a classical problem in computer science. The modulus operation.

🚀 Oh wow, someone finally discovered #metaprogramming isn't just glorified PHP! This riveting piece reveals that optimizations are indeed possible and somehow manages to make C templates sound like quantum computing. Buckle up for this rollercoaster ride into the "alternate dimension" of code that writes code, because apparently, writing complex code is the new black. 🤖💥

Ah yes, the age-old quest to make your code run faster than a snail on sedatives 🐌💤. Just port it to #ARM64 and sprinkle some optimizations like magical fairy dust ✨, and voilà, you've got yourself some...well, still quite underwhelming #performance #gains. Who knew beating a well-tuned interpreter was so "complicated"? 🙃
