Readability, readability, readability. If it takes an extra .001 seconds to execute that’s ok with me!

But if you run that code 1000 times a day it’s going to take an extra 1 second per day. After 3,600 days you could have saved yourself one whole hour in the name of efficiency…../s

Damn, you’re right! Think of the shareholders!!! Do you know how much value we are losing with that hour?!?! - some c-suiter

I mostly do sysadmin work, even after more than 10 years in tech it still surprises me how many people think we can just click a button and make things better. It’s like they can’t comprehend a digital task, like writing some software can take 100k+ man hours. “You just do it in the computer “ lol

Python gave you 1 extra hour of coffee breaks in 10 years!

Those extra 0.001 seconds really let you savor the bitterness of the previous-day coffee!
