Casey Muratori presents a case study on how straightforward coding can dramatically reduce code size and execution time compared to complex abstractions.
Kickstarter link: kickstarter.com/projects/annarettberg/meow-the-infinite-book… This was a presentation I gave to the University of Twente in early 2021. It's a case study of how simple, straightforward coding can turn several thousand lines of code and 10's of seconds of runtime into a few dozen lines of code and a sub-second runtime. It attempts to provide concrete examples of why software is often an order of magnitude (or more) slower than it should be.What people say. Recommended as a compelling case study on how modern software abstractions degrade performance and how simple, hardware-aware code can run orders of magnitude faster.
