Roy was born in Detroit, Michigan, but the family had moved away from there when he was just a baby, so he couldn't remember anything about Detroit. He didn't think of it as his hometown since he knew nothing about it. Because of Roy's father's job, the family moved frequently. His father worked for the Department of Justice and kept getting promoted. With each promotion, he was assigned to a new city. Roy could remember living in ten different towns, and he had attended six different schools, including Trace Middle. Just before moving to Coconut Cove, Florida, Roy's family had lived in Bozeman, Montana. That was probably the place they had lived the longest--more than two years. And it was the place Roy liked the best and felt most at home. He loved the mountains, the rivers, and the seasons, as well as hiking, biking, fishing, and attending rodeos. So when people asked him where he was from, he said Bozeman, Montana. Of all the places he had lived, that was the one that felt like home.
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 ...
