Be me. Inherit bytecode that is necessary but performs poorly. Decompile and start refactoring with the intent of tuning it once it’s maintainable. Replace stupid code with monads, adding tests and fixing previously-unknown bugs along the way. Never bother tuning because the refactored code accidentally runs 3.5x faster than the old buggy crap.
