100x Faster Means Less Stupid

look, I'm sorry, but the rule is simple: if you made something 2x faster, you might have done something smart if you made something 100x faster, you definitely just stopped doing something stupid

A dark-mode tweet by Fabian Giesen presents a humorous rule about optimization: making something twice as fast may indicate clever work, but making it one hundred times faster probably means you simply stopped doing something pointless or stupid. It is shared as a sarcastic reaction to exaggerated performance improvements or unnecessary complexity.
