Behold the miracle optimization technique they don't teach you in CS classes! Turns out, the solution to Node.js performance issues isn't fancy algorithms or expensive hardware—it's just commenting out console.log()
statements.
That dramatic cliff in the graph is what happens when someone finally says "maybe we don't need to log every electron's quantum state change." The event loop went from suffocating under a blanket of logs to suddenly breathing freely—like removing a winter coat in a sauna.
Next week's optimization tip: Try turning your computer on.
