I got a whetstone for Christmas and at first was so bad at using it that I thought I had permanently ruined a knife, but now it makes things sharp!pic.twitter.com/69gJEQA8vK

Looks like you need a Dhrystone (Am I the first one to make this joke?)
I thought about this but then decided it's too good for posting on Twitter for everyone
Dhrystone is a really obfuscated version of void main(){}
years ago @ncooprider built a very nice whole-program optimizer for embedded software and it would take bad benchmarks that didn't mark their inputs as volatile and destroy them completely
I really wish we could do that for JS benchmarks
I really wish the only JS benchmarks ppl looked at were peak-latency benchmarks and memory-usage benchmarks. Because that's about all that matters to real UX.
It’s an uncomfortable truth. I turned off the JIT for a year and never noticed the difference.
To be fair that was before React…all the DOM diffing might stress JITs more nowadays.
