Rob Pike's 5 Rules of Programming
SMRTR summary
Rob Pike established five fundamental programming rules emphasizing measurement over premature optimization, simplicity over complexity, and data structures over algorithms. The rules advocate against guessing bottlenecks, measuring before optimizing, favoring simple algorithms for small datasets, avoiding buggy fancy implementations, and prioritizing well-organized data structures as the foundation of good programming.
