Here is a presentation I gave earlier this year to the University of Twente. It's about how simple, lightly optimized code can dramatically optimize software performance, and why you might care:https://youtu.be/Ge3aKEmZcqY

Thanks for sharing this! It's kinda crazy how rare education like this is. How do you recommend people actively practice optimizing code that they've recognized as slow? I imagine you could just watch for it in your own code, but you could also seek it out (e.g. open source).

As I showed in the video, the best practice to learn is to always estimate how fast a computer _should_ do something, and then compare that ballpark estimate to how fast it _is_ doing that thing. That's how you know whether you should be optimizing.
