Agreed. But can we stop using "premature optimization is the root of all evil". It has jumped the shark. I have more grief in my life because people adhere to this tenet. This is why we end up with the software equivalent of concrete airplanes. Ok it's your turn now. Make it fly!

Did you measure ? Because if you didn't measure you aren't optimising, you are just wanking.

And of course one reason we say premature is that most likely until the project is mostly finished you can't really measure because you don't have anything to measure.

Obviously measuring is the only way to optimize. Goodbye.
