Sunday rant.

For software engineering, my sense is that the phrase “premature optimization is the root of all evil” has massively backfired. Its from a book on data structures and mainly tried to dissuade people from prematurely write things in assembler. But the point was to free you up to think harder about the data structures to use, not leave things comically inefficient. This context is always skipped when it’s uttered.

Not all fast software is world-class, but all world-class software is fast. Performance is _the_ killer feature.

If you are in engineering, here is a fantastic anecdote. I refer to this account often. It’s a bit subtile, but the implications are massive-

It’s an account of how SQLite became 50% faster, not by doing one specific thing but hundreds of small ones.

SQLite is everywhere today because of this work.

We need the engineers in all companies fight for this more. Product leads are not the right owners of the end performance of the software. This needs to be encoded in the professional pride of the software engineering discipline. Leaders in companies need to encourage it and hold engineering accountable. It’s simply not ok to fritter away the performance of the products for random reasons.

Every user of your products cares exactly as much about latency as engineers do when typing in their terminal. They just don’t have the words to describe what they don’t like about the experience and neither should they.

Marissa Mayer raising $20M for her startup, and getting ~1,000 installs with her well-known persona shows how it is REALLY hard to build a “hit app” in 2024. Like 100x as hard as 10 years ago. What worked in 2012 (“just build an app!” clearly doesn’t:

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, denies it’s a duck, demands you prove it's a duck, accuses you of being a duck, says your dog is a duck, that your friend's cat is a duck & that all 3 'ducks' are Russophobic ducks paid by CIA to stage attacks, it’s a Kremlin duck 🦆

There is no rope in this image. This is carved from a single block of marble.

The artist dedicated 7 years of his life to sculpt it - but what on earth inspired him to do that?

Why is Madrid the capital of Spain?

Madrid is quite unique:
• No river
• Very recent
• Tiny when it became a capital
So why?

Debate com o Ministro da Economia sobre a situação da Efacec, onde se trocaram argumentos e recomendações de livros:
1. A gestão da Efacec sob supervisão do Estado foi um desastre.
2. O golpe de propaganda do governo com o anúncio precoce da venda à Mutares diminuiu o poder negocial e custou dezenas milhões de euros.
3. A pandemia não é, obviamente, responsável pela situação da Efacec.
4. Um organismo tutelado pelo ministro publicou um "Insolvências for dummies" que contraria a visão do governo sobre as consequências de um processo de insolvência para uma empresa (também se aplica à TAP, já agora).
