I'm good a benchmarking and profiling. I tell all my interview candidates to stop worrying about optimization. I tell my colleagues they're measuring wrong. It's hard. Sounds like a good chapter on its own.

Ah yes, the love affair with todo lists.

Depending on the language, the JIT (-Compiler) optimizes the code anyway - until it doesn't :D

It's hard

Yes. I tell people to write decent code - the compiler does the rest.
