In Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, he argues that positive, healthy dialogue is dependent on a number of factors: love, faith, trust, hope, critical thinking, and humility. Freire argues that humility is crucial to dialogue because assuming that others are ignorant while not acknowledging one's own ignorance would prevent one from trusting that they would be able to learn from the other person in a dialogue. Self-sufficiency, according to Freire, is inherently incompatible with healthy dialogue. People must understand that they are able to learn, and able to rely on other people in order to have dialogue with them. He also stresses the importance of all people having dialogue, rather than restricting it to academics or the elite classes of society.
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 ...
