According to Karl Marx's Capital, fetishism of commodities refers to the way people view products as having inherent value. Commodity fetishism abstracts the social relations of labor that result in the production of commodities; rather than understanding value as a function of the proletarian labor utilized to produce a commodity, people tend to view the commodity as inherently valuable due to economic relations. Rather than exchange between people, value is understood in the abstract as a relationship between nonliving objects- commodities and currency. This view is the result of how invisible the process of production can be in a capitalist society. The manufacture of products is not seen by the public, and access to product of the working class's labor is limited to institutions which sell products. Therefore, people can only understand commodities in the abstract, because they are unable to access the social relations of the process of production.
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 ...
