Wtf. I started watching this because she's hot and I'm drunk. Go to 4:05. Check out the examples of optimization she gives:
- A preprocessor define being inlined
- Declaration of loop variables moved outside the loop
Wtf? These are not optimization at all! The preprocessor constant should be substituted BEFORE lexical analysis (according to the standard, though some compilers combine it with lexical analysis) which is long before optimization, and the declaration of loop variables makes no difference at all; they are just references to stack space which are the same whether they are in the loop or outside the loop.
In all honesty though it's really great to see an intelligent female programmer. As a career programmer, the Steve rule is incredibly depressing to me.
