Trade-offs between Code Quality and Performance

The podcast discusses the trade-offs between code quality and performance. The guest speaker, Kazimuratori, explains that many traditional clean code principles can actually have a negative impact on performance. He highlights that certain code architectures and practices, such as using inheritance hierarchies and dynamic dispatch, can slow down code and affect overall performance. Kazimuratori emphasizes the importance of understanding the performance implications of coding decisions and making informed trade-offs between code quality and performance.
