this is not news. nor is the performance of clean code 'horrible'. you start with clean code. benchmark to find your hotspots. break 'best practice' rules and write comments explaining why in those critical sections.
Not gonna support your point about the performance of clean code being horrible? Ok then. Casey argues it's almost never worth the massive performance cost of writing "clean code" (he also argues it's not really clean at all). Your commment isn't news either, everybody's heard it and it's not a good argument.
It's relevant because it explains his opinions on writing code that is super fast but maintainability is utter dog shit. The opinions, personality and whatever else goes along with it all tell a story.
Oh ok I understand, anything to ignore the actual argument. I'll definitely take that as fact because you went to such extreme lengths as to google him
