There is nothing more satisfying than owning, end to end, the software and the hardware you use without relying on abusive cloud corporations. Internet is us, not them. Break free from censorship. Learn how to self-host at home, and be truly /libre/.
Fair enough yeah. IMO microbenchmarks are useful for trying to gain intuition and propose the next incremental improvement. In real world measuring is mandatory, if you don't want to risk pessimizing the code
The wild thing about locks in particular is that microbenchmarks will cause you to make „optimizations” that are the opposite of what benefits real world workloads.
For squeezing perf in prod better to overclock (with good cooling)
