So you are saying not that “here they chose Clean Code” but “here they chose not to make good performance”. You’re arguing that the only reason for poor performance is that the developers didn’t think it mattered?
Sort of? I completely agree with Casey’s argument that Clean Code makes for poor performance, but I’m not making that argument here, he’s made it for me. I am arguing that many developers are really bad at knowing when performance matters, so if they implement the advice of “write clean code, except when performance matters” they are never going to think performance matters and always write clean code. Does that help?
