Hard not to feel that most of this research has been lost on the modern practitioner? I'd wager even money that a sizeable portion of new entrants to programming are not even aware of optimization techniques. Never mind if they are familiar with them.

Nor is this limited to optimization techniques. State machines are surprisingly ignored by many.

Makes me think this would be a fun post. What are the techniques that are basically ignored by most current discourse?
