Disgust Face at 0.000438 Seconds of Unnecessary Memory Allocation

Description

A close-up black and white photograph of a man's face showing an expression of pure disgust, with annotated red markers pointing to specific facial features: '1. nose wrinkling' and '2. upper lip raised'. The right side has bold red italic text reading 'How I look at your code when it has 0.000438 seconds of unecessary memory allocation'. The clinical annotation style mimics scientific facial expression analysis (like Paul Ekman's FACS system), applied to the absurdly specific scenario of detecting sub-millisecond memory allocation waste, perfectly capturing the obsessive performance optimization mindset

    Linus Torvalds is a vibe coder

    1. @chupasaurus 9mo

      proof of any code he made in past 2 years?)

      1. @sysoevyarik 9mo

        Message stated he is a vibe coder, not the coder.

  3. @blue_bonsai 9mo

    No wonder they update the kernel like every second. They need to fix the trash. 😁

  4. @blue_bonsai 9mo

    Linus Torvalds is a viber

  5. @blue_bonsai 9mo

    A vibrator

    1. dev_meme 9mo

      a what

      1. @agonyship 9mo

        Yes

    2. @gongchanM1 9mo

      "there 34 rules Linus follows during development. google for 'Linus Torvalds r34' "

      1. @blue_bonsai 9mo

        Ok

  6. @blue_bonsai 9mo

    Ugh

  9. @Agent1378 9mo

    Contempt

  10. @blue_bonsai 9mo

    Holy SHIT

  11. @SamsonovAnton 9mo

    How I look at your kernel installation script which looks up /etc/modules-${oldver} for enabled entries by invoking grep for each of several thousands of modules in the newly installed kernel, spending more than 30 seconds on what can be done in less than 0.5 seconds when implemented properly (but "who cares?" and "who needs that?"). 🤬

    1. @azizhakberdiev 9mo

      "premature optimization is the root of all evil"

      1. @SamsonovAnton 9mo

        "We will refactor after the first release". Ten years after the release: 🤡

        1. @azizhakberdiev 9mo

          they never said how long after

  12. @a_646_man 9mo

    average age of "for now" and "remove after" comments reaching 20+ years now 🌚
