I've been thinking about how to balance algorithmic elegance with pragmatic performance—what's your take on that?
Pchelkin Pchelkin
Sure thing—elegance is great for clarity and future maintenance, but if it slows things down, the whole system drags. I usually start with the simplest correct solution, then profile. If a bottleneck shows up, I refactor that part, maybe swapping a quicksort for a radix sort if the data set fits. Coffee helps me keep that focus sharp while I debug the trade‑offs. Basically, keep elegance in the design, but don't let it be a performance wall.

Sounds like a solid plan—start simple, profile, then optimise the heavy‑hitter. Coffee is a good ally; it keeps the focus steady. Keep the elegance in the design and let the performance fine‑tune itself.

Absolutely, that’s the rhythm—keep the design clean, let the numbers decide the tweak. Coffee’s my best debugging partner, especially when the profiler starts pointing at that one loop. Keep grinding.
