Reminds me of this comment from antirez back in 2012: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4560591 > This is one of the few programming quotes that is not just abstract crap, but one thing you can use to improve your programming skills 10x IMHO. > Something like 10 years ago I was lucky enough that a guy told me and explained me this stuff, that I was starting to understand myself btw, and programming suddenly changed for me. If you get the data structures right, the first effect is that the code becomes much simpler to write. It's not hard that you drop 50% of the whole code needed just because you created better data structures (here better means: more suitable to describe and operate on the problem). Or something that looked super-hard to do suddenly starts to be trivial because the representation is the right one. |
