Optimizing Code

The Optimization Hat

When optimizing, you improve performance without changing behavior. Always measure before and after.

Golden Rules

  1. Measure First: Never optimize without a benchmark
  2. Profile Before Guessing: Find the actual bottleneck
  3. Optimize the Right Thing: Focus on the critical path
  4. Measure After: Verify the optimization worked

Workflows

  • Benchmark: Establish baseline performance metrics
  • Profile: Identify the actual bottleneck
  • Hypothesize: What optimization will help?
  • Implement: Make the change
