Ho almeno quattro libri di racconti lasciati a metà. Scrittori
osannati, che dovrebbero farmi saltare dalla sedia. Invece niente,
sbadigli a raffica. Poi leggo questo. E' il racconto di come Damien Katz ha riscritto un pezzo del motore di Lotus Notes. Ed è la letteratura migliore su cui ho messo gli occhi ultimamente:
And something
amazing happened, the new engine wasn't just faster, it was a shitload
faster (shitload is an engineering term meaning great amount). The
measurable performance gain was 300% faster (I would later discover it
was even faster when running in other contexts). I was very excited, I
could barely believe what I had done. I checked and rechecked to make
sure I was right. Everything pointed to the new engine being blazingly
faster. It felt like I worked a miracle, I was giddy as school girl. [Damien Katz ]
