"I'm writing a recursive method with threads to optimize the CPU usage in a 0.02%" THIS IS A NONSENSICAL STATEMENT MADE BY DERANGED PEOPLE

I mean this is correct though

Recursion makes it cheaper to run in the dev's mind, but more expensive to run on the computer. Subroutines are always slower than a simple jump.
- Recursion makes it cheaper to run in the dev's mind, but more expensive to run on the computer.
  
  Maybe for a Haskell programmer, divide-and-conquer algorithms, or walking trees. But for everything else, I'm skeptical of it being easier to understand than a stack data structure and a loop.
- Dynamic programming: Heyyy...
Yeah, you have to be pretty deranged to mix multithreading and recursion together.

Someone’s never heard of Bitcoin

Optimizing CPU usage by 0.02% is something only the truly deranged do

Not necessarily. It depends on what you're optimizing, the impact of the optimizations, the code complexity tradeoffs, and what your goal is.

Optimizing many tiny pieces of a compiler by 0.02% each? It adds up.

Optimizing a function called in an O(n²) algorithm by 0.02%? That will be a lot more beneficial than optimizing a function called only once.

Optimizing some high-level function by dropping into hand-written assembly? No. Just no.
- 0.02% means you’re saving a fraction of a second for every hour of runtime. A lot of adding up is required to make it significant enough for anyone to notice.
  
  Better to spend that time and effort on things that actually bring value. These kind of micro optimizations can also make the code unnecessarily complicated and difficult to work with, which is a hindrance for the optimizations that truly matter.
I saw an article last week about a one-liner they were adding to the Linux kernel that would reduce the startup time by .03 seconds, and let me tell you, I was relieved.

Did the person writing this have a stroke?

I'm a senior dev and I'll be honest: I'm not sure what I do.

I take offense to the teapot joke. Leave the teapots out of it.

The angle between my chin and my lip corner has increased. Thank you.

Jokes on you, the Fed has been running that bottom program for years.

This is a butchered rip off of an actual joke.

I mean, that's what a meme template is, yes.
- It's your claim this was produced with an image macro??
- this isn't an image macro / meme template
  
  this isn't how the humor of a meme template works. This is the same joke, worse. This is just stealing a joke.

I think I had enough Internet for today.

OK. I guess it's time to go start my rutabaga farm now.
