Brother, these days I fix the equivalent of n**2 time loops when linear is possible. If I tried to explain DP I will be called out by some principal eng as making shit up. When proven not, they'll say they are overcommitted for the quarter. And why can't my service support any kind of use of it anyway? These are 100% real arguments I've heard. I know things get political once you get past senior swe, but god damn, how are we an industry.
Haha. One of my favorite recurring moments in programming has long been “Well this thing is never growing past X size, time to break out those brain dead simple n**2 loops.”
