At the beginning of Part Three, Beatty commands Montag to burn his home and gives him a flamethrower. After Montag torches his home, Beatty tells him that he is under arrest. Beatty then explains to Montag that his wife and her friends called an alarm on him. As Beatty is speaking, Faber yells into Montag's ear to get away. Beatty then strikes Montag on his head, and the green bullet falls out of his ear onto the sidewalk. Faber's voice can faintly be heard yelling for Montag to leave as Beatty walks over and picks up the green bullet. Beatty then turns it off and puts it into his pocket. Beatty looks at Montag and tells him that he saw the green bullet in his ear when Montag tilted his head. Beatty mentions that initially, he thought it was a Seashell radio, but when Montag "turned clever" he began to wonder. Beatty then tells Montag that he will trace the green bullet back to its owner.
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 ...
