The Pacific Northwest Native American tribes lived in a narrow band of land along the coast from southern Alaska to northern California. The northern tribes in this area generally spoke Tlingit and included Haida, Tsimshian, and the Haisla (or the northern Kwakiutl). Further south were the other Kwakiutl, Nuu-chah-nulth, and the Bella Coola. Extending from Vancouver Island south into current-day Oregon were the Coast Salish-Chinook group, including the Makah, Tillamook, Siuslaw, Chinook, and other tribes. The Coast Salish were among the most numerous and powerful of the southern tribes in the Pacific Northwest and made up a group of tribes with different languages and cultures. In what is now northern California lived the Tututni-Tolowa, the Karok, Hupa, Yurok, and Wiyot. The Native American tribes in this region spoke several different languages, and many of the tribes relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering shellfish to survive.
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 ...
