"The application and 'slow'
" You buy a machine with 8 processors "
The (sad) history of information technology in recent years and 'is this ... programmers are doped system resources. Personally I regret the times when you program in Assembler: You had a reduced instruction set, and if not well designed a program finished the memory available to the source application. Times were hard, but when you release the software were real satisfying. I had the processor clocked at 16MHz, 24MHz at best. If a function was too slow (even in industrial applications) touch you rewrite the procedure to reduce the number of machine cycles it takes to complete (and deal with XL instead of a Lotus 123 spreadsheet to see the number of machine cycles and then takes milliseconds). But if we put too much to put a number of NOP enough to lose enough time ... WASTE TIME!
Not today. Code filthy, unstructured, object ... Megabytes of memory allocated in it's not clear why ... as someone said years ago (can not remember who - have mercy ') "as the programming language is very high, the capacity' analytical programmers calera'"... may come 'the day the code will be written 'alone ... Today everyone knows how to use frontpage and 'programmer (when cold).
The end 'pretty dramatic: non-structured, undocumented, badly commented, unsafe and inefficient. A colleague of my story 'of an application developed in non forkabile that, to give better performance, and' was installed on a machine with 8 processors. The outcome of this installation and 'implied. But then I ask myself, 'cause the developers do not have the humble' to admit they do not understand anything of systems and hardware, do not reflect the fact that applications can be improved simply by optimizing the code (or the query, or the workload between application and database)? What 'this dramatic fissure and' occurred between "programming" and "knowledge of the hardware on which the application should run?
Then he says you need to save money on infrastructure. I feel sorry people like my professor of Industrial Systems ITIS you tilted your head if you were doing a routine in 13 lines when you could do it in 7. He was right, I now I realize, but possible so that people 'do not teach more'?
