Most sources will tell you there are around 639 to 640 muscles throughout the human body. There are 30 facial muscles alone. The muscles of the human body are divided into three categories depending on the placement in the body and the job they do for the body. The first group are the skeletal muscles. These muscles are voluntary, which means you have control over their movement. These are the muscles that actually help you to move. They are made of bands called fibrils and are striated. They have multiple nuclei to provide them with the energy they need (since these muscles perform a great deal of movement). The second group is the smooth muscles, which are involuntary (you have no control over them). They make up hollow organs in the body and are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Finally, you have the cardiac muscle. This muscle is found in only one place in the body and that is the heart. It is also involuntary. The muscle is striated, but only has one nucleus per tissue cell.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
