If it involves a couple of hacky tricks, I don't care if your code solves the problem 6% faster.Hardware scales and will improve over time. The human capacity of understanding and maintaining code does not.There are always exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking:clean code > performance.

@fribbledom and most importantly, before you make any hacky tricks to improve performance: measure, don‘t speculate.

@fribbledom and additionally: debugging code is twice as hard as writing code. if you make your code as smart as you possibly can - you are per definition not smart enough to debug it!

@elbosso @fribbledom We need a PSA about that.Write dumb code, people. Write dumb code.
