After all these years I still don’t know how to look at what I’ve coded and tell you a big O math formula for its efficiency.
I don’t even know the words. Like is quadratic worse than polynomial? Or are those two words not legit?
However, I have seen janky performance, used performance tools to examine the problem and then improved things.
I would like to be able to glance at some code and truthfully and accurately and correctly say, “Oh that’s in factorial time,” but it’s just never come up in the blue-collar coding I do, and I can’t afford to spend time on stuff that isn’t necessary.
