One lesson that The Story of My Life imparts is that every child deserves an education suited to him or her. Before Anne Sullivan starts working with Helen Keller, Keller is deemed unable to communicate because people don't know how to reach her. However, with the correct type of education and a teacher who understands her, Keller learns how to communicate with sign language and how to read. Therefore, no child should be deemed uneducable. Another important message is the value of each person and his or her ability to contribute to society. When Anne Sullivan starts working with Keller, she treats her student with the respect she would give to any student who could speak and hear. The only difference in the way she treats Keller is that Sullivan uses sign language instead of speech. As a result, Keller learns to respect herself and to understand that she is capable of great thoughts and achievements. In addition, Keller's story teaches us the value of struggle. She had to struggle at first to understand language, but once she learned how to communicate, a new world opened up to her.
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 ...
