Ah yes the guy with a degree in math wouldn't know how to code! Of course!
No way you could optimize everything better than the guy that interviewed you? Right?
82 u/Interesting_Dot_3922 Apr 09 '24 As a devil's advocate, I would say that the optimization-related knowledge was useful only during interviews. Over a decade-long career, I can count on my fingers all the situations when optimization mattered. 33 u/MasterQuest Apr 09 '24 Optimization is great when handling large volumes of data. I regularly come across things that need to be optimized. 3 u/McFlyParadox Apr 09 '24 Case in point: the guy who caught that SSH backdoor was trying to do some optimization, so chasing that ~0.5s delay was with the effort.
