Optimization Teaches You Nothing

Text on the meme

If you optimize a man's code, he will be grateful for a day. If you teach the man optimization, he will never meet deadlines again

What it means

A bearded programmer in glasses sits at a desk surrounded by yellow rubber ducks, holding a yellow mug. The joke parodies the proverb about teaching a man to fish: teaching a programmer optimization makes him endlessly optimize instead of finishing his work, so he misses every deadline.
