The Moths of Programming 5 - Compilers Optimise Code Better Than Humans
The Moths of Programming with Dino Dini09/26/21 • 44 min
In any social media facilitated discussion about programming the topic of code optimisation with often arise. Anyone who has expertise in low level optimisation are likely to face a choice: being silent or enduring endless accusations of irrelevance and hubris. Most choose the former approach as a more efficient and effective path to take, even if they earn a living developing and maintaining optimising code generators.
The idea that Compilers Optimise Code Better Than Humans is, I argue, another Moth of Programming: an idea that has become popular in software engineering due to virality instead of reality.
