Where Do You Put The Sticker For The Biggest Performance Boost?

Content Marc Gravell marcgravell 1h I don't know how to get this to the ears that need to hear it, but if you end any programming question - whether in Stack Overflow, or GitHub, or anywhere else - with "but it gives an error", without telling me what it said: I want to reach through the screen and slap you. 4 17 6 48 8 V

The eternal gap between theoretical architecture and actual production traffic! 😂 When someone asks if your system can handle a million concurrent users, but your current load is just TEN people, what do you do? Tell the truth and look incompetent or confidently lie and pray you'll never have to prove it? This is basically every startup pitch deck vs. actual server metrics. "Oh yeah, our architecture is totally cloud-native, horizontally scalable to infinity!" Meanwhile, the poor Node.js server is running on a t2.micro instance that crashes when three people use the search function simultaneously. The best part? When the miracle happens and you actually get that traffic spike, you'll be frantically Googling "how to optimize database queries at 3am" while telling management "it's just a minor scaling issue!"

Serial killers and psychopaths might be terrifying, but they've got nothing on the true monsters of our industry—developers who write flawless code in Notepad with zero internet help. You know that colleague who claims they "just whipped up" a thousand-line algorithm in plain text editor, offline, and it worked perfectly the first time? Yeah, back away slowly. That's not talent—that's a warning sign. After 15 years in this field, I've come to accept that anyone who can code without Stack Overflow probably also has a basement you don't want to see. Even my IDE's autocomplete feature is questioning your life choices right now.
