The feeling when you write a long messy algorithm and you think to yourself "this is never going to work" but then it runs exactly as you intended first try! 😎

That's not acceptable! You have to break it and then try to fix it for (min) 7 hours.

I find with algorithms, its not whether it gives the right answer - its how it gives the answer - performance.

If its slow - this could be worse than giving the wrong answer. Because it means testing cycles are long meaning & the algo will evolve slowly.

@kunashe premature optimization is the root of all evil.

You must be doing something wrong
